Integration
Connect Switchboard Canvas and TESS
When New Template fires in Switchboard Canvas, your agent runs Create Memory in TESS, or New Memory in TESS to Create Image in Switchboard Canvas. 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.

Can it also run from TESS to Switchboard Canvas?

Do I have to build a connector for Switchboard Canvas or TESS?
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 Switchboard Canvas and TESS 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.
