# Connect OpenAI and PandaDoc

When **New file** fires in [OpenAI](https://apiant.ai/connections/openai), your agent runs **Create contact** in [PandaDoc](https://apiant.ai/connections/pandadoc), or **Document completed** in PandaDoc to **Send model a message** in OpenAI. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.

OpenAI **5** triggers OpenAI **69** actions PandaDoc **3** triggers PandaDoc **19** actions

What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it.

## What do you want OpenAI and PandaDoc to do together?

Give your AI client this address.

`https://mcp.apiant.ai`

One 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.

### Set it up in your client

### Claude Code

Run this in the directory you want to work in.

`claude mcp add --transport http -s project apiant-ai https://mcp.apiant.ai`

Start Claude Code there, approve the server, and sign in in the browser page it opens.

[Claude Code guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp/claude-code)

### Claude, web and desktop

Open Customize, then Connectors, then Add custom connector, and paste the address. On Team and Enterprise an owner adds it first.

[Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp)

### Cursor

Add the address to your MCP configuration as a server URL. Cursor signs you in in your browser.

[Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp)

### Zed

Open Settings, then AI, then MCP Servers, then Add Server, then Add Remote Server.

[Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp)

### Codex and the ChatGPT desktop app

Open Settings, then MCP servers, then Add server, and choose Streamable HTTP. From the terminal, Codex takes the address with its own add command and then signs you in.

[Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp)

### Any other MCP client

Paste the address where the client asks for a remote MCP server URL, and name the server apiant-ai where it lets you. APIANT's skills reach the client over the same connection.

Connecting OpenAI and PandaDoc lets the text you sign and the text you generate move together. Completed or updated PandaDoc documents can hand their field values to OpenAI for a summary, a draft note or an embedding, and new files or videos in OpenAI can point back at the right PandaDoc document or start one from a template.

Questions

## OpenAI and PandaDoc, answered

###

### Can the agent read the fields a signer filled in before calling OpenAI?

Yes. PandaDoc has a Get document entered data action that returns the field and token names and values for a document, and those values can be passed straight into an OpenAI action such as Create chat completion or Send model a message.

###

### Does the PandaDoc side wait for polling, or can it fire right away?

Both are available: Document completed (instant) registers a PandaDoc webhook, while Document completed and Document updated are polling triggers. The agent tests every scenario with the trigger you choose before it goes live.

###

### What can start an automation from OpenAI?

Any of OpenAI's 5 triggers in the catalog, including New file, New video, New batch and New model. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.

###

### What can your agent do in PandaDoc when something happens in OpenAI?

Any of PandaDoc's 19 actions, including Create document from template, Find document by name, Get document entered data and Create contact. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.

###

### Can it also run from PandaDoc to OpenAI?

Yes. When something happens in PandaDoc, your agent can act in OpenAI too. This page covers both directions: PandaDoc's triggers and OpenAI's actions are listed here as well.

###

### Do I have to build a connector for OpenAI or PandaDoc?

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 OpenAI and PandaDoc 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.
