Joining them means a file dropped or edited in a Seafile library can kick off a scrape, a crawl, a site map or a web search in Olostep, with the results written back into Seafile as a text file where the rest of the team can read them.

Yes. The New or Updated File trigger fires when a file is added to a Seafile library folder or its content changes, so an edited list of sites can start a Create Crawl, Create Map, Search web or Scrape Website run in Olostep. ### ### Where do the Olostep results end up? They can go straight back into Seafile using Create Text File, and the file that started the run can be moved or renamed with Move File or Rename File. The agent tests every scenario before it goes live, including the case where the source file is empty. ### ### What can start an automation from Seafile? Any of Seafile's 2 triggers in the catalog, including New File and New or Updated File. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Olostep when something happens in Seafile? Any of Olostep's 8 actions, including Ask AI Answer, Create Crawl, Create Map and Search web. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Olostep to Seafile? Olostep has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Seafile. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Olostep's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Seafile or Olostep? 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 Seafile and Olostep 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.
