Questions
Pleo and NGP VAN, answered
What can start an automation from Pleo?
Any of Pleo's 2 triggers in the catalog, including New Employee and New Tag. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in NGP VAN when something happens in Pleo?
Any of NGP VAN's 20 actions, including Create Financial Batch, Create or Update Contact With a Contribution, Update note and Add a Contribution. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from NGP VAN to Pleo?
NGP VAN has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Pleo. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads NGP VAN's API documentation and adds it.
Do I have to build a connector for Pleo or NGP VAN?
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 Pleo and NGP VAN 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.
