Connect Outline to Dex
When New Collection fires in Outline, your agent runs Create or Update Contact in Dex. 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.

Questions
Outline and Dex, answered
What can start an automation from Outline?
Any of Outline's 3 triggers in the catalog, including New Collection, New Comment and New Document. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in Dex when something happens in Outline?
Any of Dex's 29 actions, including Create Group, Create Note, Create or Update Contact and Create Reminder. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Dex to Outline?
Dex has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Outline. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Dex's API documentation and adds it.
Do I have to build a connector for Outline or Dex?
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 Outline and Dex 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.
