Any of ServiceNow's 7 triggers in the catalog, including New Attachment Added, New Comment Added, New Record and New Work Note Added. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Elastic Security when something happens in ServiceNow? Any of Elastic Security's 10 actions, including Update case, Update detection rule, Add case comment and Add detection rule. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Elastic Security to ServiceNow? Elastic Security has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in ServiceNow. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Elastic Security's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for ServiceNow or Elastic Security? 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 ServiceNow and Elastic Security 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.
