Connect Instagram and Tolstoy
When New Comment fires in Instagram, your agent runs Get Inbox Email in Tolstoy, or New Response in Tolstoy to Create Post in Instagram. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.
What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it.
Build solutions, not workarounds.
What do you want Instagram and Tolstoy to do together?
Ask the assistant
Connect your AI client
Give your AI client this address.
https://mcp.apiant.aiOne connection does both: ask your client to act in an app once, or have it build an automation that keeps running. Any client that takes a remote MCP server. Nothing to install. Create your free account, then sign in once in your browser.

Questions
Instagram and Tolstoy, answered
What can start an automation from Instagram?
Any of Instagram's 3 triggers in the catalog, including New Comment, New Media Posted and New Message. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in Tolstoy when something happens in Instagram?
Any of Tolstoy's 27 actions, including Add Media to Playlist, Approve Media Draft, Get Brand Profile and Get Credit Balance. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Tolstoy to Instagram?
Yes. When something happens in Tolstoy, your agent can act in Instagram too. This page covers both directions: Tolstoy's triggers and Instagram's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Instagram or Tolstoy?
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 Tolstoy 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.
