Any of Motion's 4 triggers in the catalog, including New Comment, New or Updated Task, New Project and New Task. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Accounting Seed when something happens in Motion? Any of Accounting Seed's 7 actions, including Create Record, Update Record, Describe Object and Get Record. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Accounting Seed to Motion? Accounting Seed has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Motion. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Accounting Seed's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Motion or Accounting Seed? 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 Motion and Accounting Seed 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.
