Questions
Humanity and The Old Reader, answered
What can start an automation from Humanity?
Any of Humanity's 5 triggers in the catalog, including New/Updated Employees, New/Updated Time Entries, Approved Leave Requests and Published Shifts. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in The Old Reader when something happens in Humanity?
Any of The Old Reader's 12 actions, including Update folder, Update item, Update subscription and Add subscription. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from The Old Reader to Humanity?
Yes. When something happens in The Old Reader, your agent can act in Humanity too. This page covers both directions: The Old Reader's triggers and Humanity's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Humanity or The Old Reader?
No. Both are in the catalog with their triggers and actions. You describe the automation; your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running.
Can my AI client use Humanity and The Old Reader without building an automation?
Yes. With your AI client connected to APIANT, ask it to do something in either app once and it runs that action on the spot. Ask for an automation and your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. One connection covers both.
What happens when something fails?
Your agent works that out for you. It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Every plan includes the agent, including free, and building from your own AI client spends no assistant credits.
