Integration
Connect Instagram and Shade
When New Comment fires in Instagram, your agent runs Copy a File in Shade, or Asset Updated in Shade to Create Post in Instagram. 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.
What do you want Instagram and Shade to do together?
Ask the assistant
Connect your AI client
Give your AI client this address.
https://mcp.apiant.aiOne connection does both: ask your client to act in an app once, or have it build an automation that keeps running. Any client that takes a remote MCP server. Nothing to install. Create your free account, then sign in once in your browser.
Set it up in your client
Claude Code
Run this in the directory you want to work in.

Setup guide (opens in a new tab)Codex and the ChatGPT desktop app

Questions
Instagram and Shade, answered
What can start an automation from Instagram?
Any of Instagram's 3 triggers in the catalog, including New Comment, New Media Posted and New Message. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in Shade when something happens in Instagram?
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 Instagram?
Yes. When something happens in Shade, your agent can act in Instagram too. This page covers both directions: Shade's triggers and Instagram's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Instagram 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 Instagram 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.
