Any of VideoDB's 1 trigger in the catalog, including New Video Uploaded & Indexed. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in SlickText when something happens in VideoDB? Any of SlickText's 8 actions, including Create or Update Contact, Send Campaign to All Contacts, Send Campaign to List and Send Campaign to Segment. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from SlickText to VideoDB? SlickText has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in VideoDB. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads SlickText's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for VideoDB or SlickText? 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 VideoDB and SlickText 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.
