Questions
Looker and Parallel, answered
What can start an automation from Looker?
Any of Looker's 3 triggers in the catalog, including New Dashboard, New Look and New User. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in Parallel when something happens in Looker?
Any of Parallel's 18 actions, including Create Draft, Send a Parallel, Send Multiple and Add contact. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Parallel to Looker?
Yes. When something happens in Parallel, your agent can act in Looker too. This page covers both directions: Parallel's triggers and Looker's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Looker or Parallel?
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 Looker and Parallel 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.
