What do you want Shade and Ziflow to do together?
Ask the assistant
Connect your AI client
Give your AI client this address.
https://mcp.apiant.aiOne 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.

Questions
Shade and Ziflow, answered
What can start an automation from Shade?
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 Ziflow when something happens in Shade?
Any of Ziflow's 14 actions, including Create Folder, Create Proof, Update folder and Update proof. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Ziflow to Shade?
Ziflow has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Shade. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Ziflow's API documentation and adds it.
Do I have to build a connector for Shade or Ziflow?
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 Ziflow 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.
