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 Timely Time Tracking when something happens in Jira Software Cloud? Any of Timely Time Tracking's 19 actions, including Create Client, Create Person, Create Project and Create Task. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Timely Time Tracking to Jira Software Cloud? Yes. When something happens in Timely Time Tracking, your agent can act in Jira Software Cloud too. This page covers both directions: Timely Time Tracking's triggers and Jira Software Cloud's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Jira Software Cloud or Timely Time Tracking? 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 Timely Time Tracking 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.
