Any of Shade's 7 triggers in the catalog, including Asset Updated, New Asset, New Collection and New Drive. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Botdog when something happens in Shade? Any of Botdog's 30 actions, including Update campaign, Update lead, Update snippet and Add blacklist. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Botdog to Shade? Botdog has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Shade. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Botdog's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Shade or Botdog? 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 Shade and Botdog 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.
