Any of YNAB's 14 triggers in the catalog, including Goal Completed, New Account, New Category and New or Updated Account. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Ziflow when something happens in YNAB? Any of Ziflow's 14 actions, including Create Folder, Create Proof, Update folder and Update proof. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Ziflow to YNAB? Ziflow has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in YNAB. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Ziflow's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for YNAB or Ziflow? 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 YNAB and Ziflow 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.
