Any of Particle's 1 trigger in the catalog, including New device event (instant). Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Foursquare when something happens in Particle? Any of Foursquare's 4 actions, including Find places by autocomplete, Find places nearby, Get place and Match place. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Foursquare to Particle? Foursquare has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Particle. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Foursquare's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Particle or Foursquare? 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 Particle and Foursquare 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.
