Integration
Connect Contacts+ and Shade
When New Contact fires in Contacts+, your agent runs Copy a File in Shade, or Asset Updated in Shade to Add Note to Contact in Contacts+. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.
What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it.
Build solutions, not workarounds.

Questions
Contacts+ and Shade, answered
What can start an automation from Contacts+?
Any of Contacts+'s 6 triggers in the catalog, including New Contact, New Deleted Contact, New Deleted Tag and New Tag. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in Shade when something happens in Contacts+?
Any of Shade's 7 actions, including Create Folder, Copy a File, Find an Asset and Get Public Links for a File or Folder. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Shade to Contacts+?
Yes. When something happens in Shade, your agent can act in Contacts+ too. This page covers both directions: Shade's triggers and Contacts+'s actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Contacts+ or Shade?
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 Contacts+ and Shade 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.
