Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from AWS DynamoDB to Planning Center? AWS DynamoDB has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Planning Center. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads AWS DynamoDB's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Planning Center or AWS DynamoDB? 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 Planning Center and AWS DynamoDB without building an automation? Yes. With your AI client connected to APIANT, ask it to do something in AWS DynamoDB 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.
