Integration
Connect Switchboard Canvas and Textline
When New Template fires in Switchboard Canvas, your agent runs Create/Update Contact in Textline, or New Contact in Textline 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.
