Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it. ## What do you want QuickBase and Salesforce to do together? Give your AI client this address. `https://mcp.apiant.ai` One connection does both: ask your client to act in an app once, or have it build an automation that keeps running. Any client that takes a remote MCP server. Nothing to install. Create your free account, then sign in once in your browser. ### Set it up in your client ### Claude Code Run this in the directory you want to work in. `claude mcp add --transport http -s project apiant-ai https://mcp.apiant.ai` Start Claude Code there, approve the server, and sign in in the browser page it opens. [Claude Code guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp/claude-code) ### Claude, web and desktop Open Customize, then Connectors, then Add custom connector, and paste the address. On Team and Enterprise an owner adds it first. [Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) ### Cursor Add the address to your MCP configuration as a server URL.

No. The Quickbase new or updated record trigger fires when a row changes, and the agent can find matching records in Salesforce by a field value and update the record it finds. If no match exists, it can create the record instead. ### ### How does the agent know which Quickbase row belongs to a Salesforce record? It uses a shared value, such as a project number or case reference, with the Quickbase query records action or the Salesforce find object records action. The agent tests every scenario, including when no matching row is found, before the setup goes live. ### ### What can start an automation from QuickBase? Any of QuickBase's 2 triggers in the catalog, including New or updated record and New record. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Salesforce when something happens in QuickBase? Any of Salesforce's 9 actions, including Create object record, Find object records, Find most recent created or updated record and Update object record. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Salesforce to QuickBase? Yes. When something happens in Salesforce, your agent can act in QuickBase too. This page covers both directions: Salesforce's triggers and QuickBase's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for QuickBase or Salesforce? 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 QuickBase and Salesforce 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.
