Integration
Connect The Old Reader and UpKeep
When New item fires in The Old Reader, your agent runs Create Purchase Order in UpKeep, or New Purchase Order in UpKeep to Update item in The Old Reader. 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.
