If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads BBC iPlayer Business Layer's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for ProjectManager or BBC iPlayer Business Layer? No. Both are in the catalog with their triggers and actions.

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.
