# Connect TextIt to GeoNames

When **New contact** fires in [TextIt](https://apiant.ai/connections/textit), your agent runs **Address reverse geocoding** in [GeoNames](https://apiant.ai/connections/geonames). Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.

###

### What can your agent do in GeoNames when something happens in TextIt?

Any of GeoNames's 42 actions, including Address reverse geocoding, Contains, Country code from coordinates and Country subdivision. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.

###

### Can it also run from GeoNames to TextIt?

GeoNames has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in TextIt. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads GeoNames's API documentation and adds it.

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.

###

### 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.
