Any of Ubidots's 3 triggers in the catalog, including Device Is Updated, Variable Updated and Event Is Triggered. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Azure Form Recognizer when something happens in Ubidots? Any of Azure Form Recognizer's 6 actions, including Analyze Document, Analyze Invoice, Analyze Receipt and Extract Document Layout. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Azure Form Recognizer to Ubidots? Azure Form Recognizer has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Ubidots. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Azure Form Recognizer's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Ubidots or Azure Form Recognizer? 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 Ubidots and Azure Form Recognizer 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.
