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.

Setup guide (opens in a new tab)Any other MCP client
Paste the address where the client asks for a remote MCP server URL, and name the server apiant-ai where it lets you. APIANT's skills reach the client over the same connection.
Setup guide (opens in a new tab)Running Salesforce and Intercom together means support sees CRM context and sales sees what customers are asking. Connecting them lets a new Intercom conversation or ticket look up the matching Salesforce record and write a Case, while new Leads and Account changes in Salesforce show up as contacts and companies in Intercom.

Questions
Intercom and Salesforce, answered
Can a conversation in Intercom find the right Salesforce record before anything is written?
Yes. The agent can use Find object records in Salesforce to match a Contact by the email on the Intercom conversation, and only continue when a match comes back. It tests every scenario, including the case where no Salesforce record exists.
How do Salesforce Accounts show up in Intercom?
A new or updated Account record in Salesforce can be sent to Intercom with Add company, which creates or upserts the company, or with Update company when the Intercom company ID is known. Fields such as name and industry are carried across.
What can start an automation from Intercom?
Any of Intercom's 4 triggers in the catalog, including New conversation, New or updated contact, New ticket and New company. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in Salesforce when something happens in Intercom?
Any of Salesforce's 9 actions, including Create object record, Find object records, Update object record and Find most recent created or updated record. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Salesforce to Intercom?
Yes. When something happens in Salesforce, your agent can act in Intercom too. This page covers both directions: Salesforce's triggers and Intercom's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Intercom or Salesforce?
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 Intercom and Salesforce 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.
