When something happens in Particle, your agent can act in iDigBio too. This page covers both directions: Particle's triggers and iDigBio's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for iDigBio or Particle? 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 iDigBio and Particle 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.
