Action Kit Banner Pn
ActionKit exposes thousands of pre-built Tools (actions in a third-party system) and Triggers (events in a third-party system) across integrations through one consistent interface. The main use cases for ActionKit include:
  1. AI agents: Give your AI agent a deep understanding of your users’ connected apps:
    • Expose Tools as capabilities to your AI agent (with our API or MCP), with agent-optimized descriptions for tool calling accuracy.
    • Use Triggers to listen for third-party events in your users’ integrations and react to new data with your AI agent.
  2. In-app workflow builders: Expand your in-app workflow builder with Paragon’s catalog of thousands of pre-built Tools and Triggers:
    • Expose Tools as action nodes in your in-app workflow builder by rendering Tool input schemas in your UI.
    • Expose Triggers as trigger nodes for your users to discover and configure trigger points for their workflow automations.
  3. Front-end functions: If your users interact with integration data in your app, use Tools to power frontend features like displaying a table of Salesforce opportunities or a button to send a Slack notification.
  4. First-party automations: If your app needs to react to data changes or new events from your users’ connected apps, use Triggers to listen for events like a new Slack @mention or new Salesforce lead.
ActionKit is built for real-life use cases, providing much deeper abstrtools that simply wrapping each 3rd-party API. As a result, this comes with benefits including:
  • A universal filter schema that works across all list/search operations in any 3rd-party application (ie. “contains”, “equals”, “greater_than”)
  • A reload_fields configuration that can re-pull each of your users’ dynamic fields at query-time, ensuring you have full access to their custom fields in the 3rd-party applications
  • Use case-specific schema formats purpose-built for AI agent use cases and workflow builder implementations
