Any of timelink's 3 triggers in the catalog, including New Time Entry, Updated Time Entry and Deleted Time Entry. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Chinese Text Project when something happens in timelink? Any of Chinese Text Project's 5 actions, including Find texts by title, Get text info, List dictionary headwords and List dynasties. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Chinese Text Project to timelink? Chinese Text Project has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in timelink. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Chinese Text Project's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for timelink or Chinese Text Project? 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 timelink and Chinese Text Project 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.
