Any of Personio's 7 triggers in the catalog, including Employee Updated, Employment Updated, New Absence and New Candidate. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in VidWords when something happens in Personio? Any of VidWords's 3 actions, including Analyze video, Ask video question and Get transcripts. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from VidWords to Personio? VidWords has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Personio. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads VidWords's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Personio or VidWords? 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 Personio and VidWords 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.
