Any of Method CRM's 6 triggers in the catalog, including New Activity, New Contact, New Customer or Customer Lead (QuickBooks Only) and New Customer/Vendor or Customer/Vendor Lead (Xero Only). Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Spike.sh when something happens in Method CRM? Any of Spike.sh's 25 actions, including Create Incident, Update alert rule, Update escalation and Update on-call. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Spike.sh to Method CRM? Spike.sh has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Method CRM. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Spike.sh's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Method CRM or Spike.sh? 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 Method CRM and Spike.sh 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.
