Integration
Connect Karbon and Shape
When New work item fires in Karbon, your agent runs Create Record in Shape, or New Record in Shape to Create Organization Contact in Karbon. 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.
