Any of RO App's 12 triggers in the catalog, including New Invoice Statuses, New Order Items, New Taxes and Ad Campaigns. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in ServiceTrade when something happens in RO App? Any of ServiceTrade's 30 actions, including Create Appointment, Create Contact, Create Invoice and Create Job. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from ServiceTrade to RO App? ServiceTrade has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in RO App. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads ServiceTrade's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for RO App or ServiceTrade? 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 RO App and ServiceTrade 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.
