When New Customer fires in Katana, your agent runs Add User in McTime, or New Organization in McTime to Add manufacturing order in Katana. 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.

Questions
Katana and McTime, 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 McTime when something happens in Katana?
Any of McTime's 16 actions, including Create Client, Create Organization, Create Project and Add Assignment. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from McTime to Katana?
Yes. When something happens in McTime, your agent can act in Katana too. This page covers both directions: McTime's triggers and Katana's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Katana or McTime?
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 McTime 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.
