Any of Remote Retrieval's 5 actions, including Create New Order, Get All Orders, Get Company Details and Get Order. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Remote Retrieval to Instagram? Remote Retrieval has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Instagram. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Remote Retrieval's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Instagram or Remote Retrieval? 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 Instagram and Remote Retrieval 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.
