Describe the flow you need, at any depth, and your agent builds it and tests every scenario before it ships. Everything your agent can do with Adyen and Xero ## Triggers and actions 6 triggers · 36 actions - Trigger **New payment authorisation** Webhook AUTHORISATION: result of authorisation request. - Trigger **New refund** Webhook REFUND: result of refund request. - Action **Add payment** Starts a payment (authorisation) in Adyen Checkout for the given amount, payment method and merchant account, and returns the payment's PSP reference and result code. - Action **Add payment link** Creates an Adyen Pay by Link payment link that a shopper can open to pay the given amount. - Action **Cancel payment** Cancels an authorised payment that has not been captured yet, releasing the funds back to the shopper. The final outcome arrives later in Adyen's CANCELLATION webhook. - Action **Capture payment** Captures an authorised payment (full or partial amount). Adyen processes the capture asynchronously: the response always has status "received" and the final outcome arrives later in a CAPTURE webhook. - Action **Delete stored payment method** Deletes (disables) a shopper's stored payment details token in Adyen. - Action **Get payment link** Retrieves the details of a payment link, including its amount, status (active, completed, expired or paymentPending), url and expiry. - Action **List payment methods** Retrieves the payment methods available for a transaction, based on details such as amount, country and currency, plus the shopper's stored payment methods when a shopper reference is given. - Action **List stored payment methods** Lists the tokens for payment details stored for a shopper, with a summary of each stored card or account. - Action **Refund payment** Refunds a captured Adyen payment, fully or partially. Adyen acknowledges the request immediately; the final outcome arrives later in a REFUND notification. - Action **Update payment link** Updates the status of an Adyen payment link.

Any of Adyen's 2 triggers in the catalog, including New payment authorisation and New refund. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Xero when something happens in Adyen? Any of Xero's 26 actions, including Create bank transaction, Create bill, Create or update contact and Create payment. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Xero to Adyen? Yes. When something happens in Xero, your agent can act in Adyen too. This page covers both directions: Xero's triggers and Adyen's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Adyen or Xero? 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 Adyen and Xero 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.
