Integration
Connect Mendato and OpenAI
When New Subcontractor fires in Mendato, your agent runs Create message in OpenAI, or New batch in OpenAI to Add order in Mendato. 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.
What do you want Mendato and OpenAI to do together?
Ask the assistant
Connect your AI client
Give your AI client this address.
https://mcp.apiant.aiOne connection does both: ask your client to act in an app once, or have it build an automation that keeps running. Any client that takes a remote MCP server. Nothing to install. Create your free account, then sign in once in your browser.

Questions
Mendato and OpenAI, answered
What can start an automation from Mendato?
Any of Mendato's 1 trigger in the catalog, including New Subcontractor. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in OpenAI when something happens in Mendato?
Any of OpenAI's 69 actions, including Create assistant, Create chat completion, Create completion and Create embedding. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from OpenAI to Mendato?
Yes. When something happens in OpenAI, your agent can act in Mendato too. This page covers both directions: OpenAI's triggers and Mendato's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Mendato or OpenAI?
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 Mendato and OpenAI 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.
