If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Shortpixel's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for SOS Inventory or Shortpixel? 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 SOS Inventory and Shortpixel 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.
