Any of Vapi's 3 triggers in the catalog, including New Assistant, New Call and New File. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Meraki when something happens in Vapi? Any of Meraki's 12 actions, including Update network, Update SSID, Add network and Add organization admin. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Meraki to Vapi? Meraki has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Vapi. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Meraki's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Vapi or Meraki? 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 Vapi and Meraki 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.
