Any of Jira Software Cloud's 4 triggers in the catalog, including Issue Status Changed, New Issue, New Issue (Via JQL) and Updated Issue. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Cirkus when something happens in Jira Software Cloud? Any of Cirkus's 11 actions, including Create Calendar Event, Create Project, Update booking and Update company. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Cirkus to Jira Software Cloud? Cirkus has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Jira Software Cloud. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Cirkus's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Jira Software Cloud or Cirkus? 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 Jira Software Cloud and Cirkus 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.
