Any of Nifty's 11 triggers in the catalog, including New Doc, New File, New Message and New Milestone. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Azure Cosmos Db when something happens in Nifty? Any of Azure Cosmos Db's 14 actions, including Create Container, Create Database, Create Document and Get Container. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Azure Cosmos Db to Nifty? Azure Cosmos Db has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Nifty. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Azure Cosmos Db's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Nifty or Azure Cosmos Db? 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 Nifty and Azure Cosmos Db 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.
