Questions
Katana and ManyContacts, answered
What can start an automation from Katana?
Any of Katana's 2 triggers in the catalog, including New Customer and New Sales Order. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in ManyContacts when something happens in Katana?
Any of ManyContacts's 29 actions, including Create Contact, Create Tag, Send Interactive Message and Send Template Message. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from ManyContacts to Katana?
Yes. When something happens in ManyContacts, your agent can act in Katana too. This page covers both directions: ManyContacts's triggers and Katana's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Katana or ManyContacts?
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 Katana and ManyContacts 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.
