Integration
Connect Shade and Timing
When Asset Updated fires in Shade, your agent runs Create Project in Timing, or New Project in Timing to Copy a File in Shade. 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
Shade and Timing, answered
What can start an automation from Shade?
Any of Shade's 7 triggers in the catalog, including Asset Updated, New Asset, New Collection and New Drive. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in Timing when something happens in Shade?
Any of Timing's 21 actions, including Create Project, Create Time Entry, Update Project and Update Time Entry. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Timing to Shade?
Yes. When something happens in Timing, your agent can act in Shade too. This page covers both directions: Timing's triggers and Shade's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Shade or Timing?
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 Shade and Timing 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.
