Questions

## Paystack and Pleo, answered

###

### What can start an automation from Paystack?

Any of Paystack's 11 triggers in the catalog, including New Chargeback, New Invoice, New Order and New Payment Page Transaction. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.

###

### What can your agent do in Pleo when something happens in Paystack?

Any of Pleo's 24 actions, including Create Tag, Update tag, Update tag group and Update tax code. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.

###

### Can it also run from Pleo to Paystack?

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

###

### Do I have to build a connector for Paystack or Pleo?

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 Paystack and Pleo without building an automation?

###

### 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?
