Integration
Connect Slack and Text Request
When New Channel fires in Slack, your agent runs Add group message in Text Request, or New Contact in Text Request to Send Direct Message in Slack. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.
What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it.
Build solutions, not workarounds.

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
Slack and Text Request, answered
What can start an automation from Slack?
Any of Slack's 15 triggers in the catalog, including New Channel, New Channel (instant), New Channel Member and New File (instant). Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in Text Request when something happens in Slack?
Any of Text Request's 23 actions, including Create Group, Create Tag, Send Message and Update group. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Text Request to Slack?
Yes. When something happens in Text Request, your agent can act in Slack too. This page covers both directions: Text Request's triggers and Slack's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Slack or Text Request?
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 Slack and Text Request 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.
