The API maps UBL to CII, generates a visual PDF rendering, and embeds the CII XML in the PDF/A-3 container. - Action **Create Factur-X Invoice** Builds a Factur-X invoice from structured header, party, payment, and line-item data, then returns a ready-to-deliver PDF/A-3b file. - Action **Embed XML Into PDF (Factur-X)** Takes a PDF and a CII XML and produces a Factur-X compliant PDF/A-3 with the XML attached as factur-x.xml. Use this when you already have both the visual PDF and the structured XML of an invoice and just need the hybrid wrapper. - Action **Extract Invoice JSON** Pulls invoice fields from a PDF into structured JSON, preferring embedded Factur-X XML when present and falling back to intelligent extraction when not. - Action **Extract Invoice XML** Retrieves machine-readable invoice XML from a PDF, returning embedded Factur-X XML directly or generating compliant XML when none is embedded. - Action **Render CII as PDF** Renders a CII (UN/CEFACT Cross Industry Invoice) XML document into a human-readable PDF. The output is a visual PDF, not a Factur-X hybrid file. - Action **Validate Factur-X Invoice** Checks whether a Factur-X invoice is structurally and semantically valid, including schema status, conformance level, and rule-level issues. ## Each app on its own - [ **Dropbox** Dropbox cloud file storage.

Any of Dropbox's 1 trigger in the catalog, including New File in Folder. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Factur-X by InvoiceXML when something happens in Dropbox? Any of Factur-X by InvoiceXML's 10 actions, including Create Factur-X Invoice, Convert CII XML to Factur-X, Convert Factur-X PDF to CII and Convert Factur-X PDF to UBL. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Factur-X by InvoiceXML to Dropbox? Factur-X by InvoiceXML has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Dropbox. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Factur-X by InvoiceXML's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Dropbox or Factur-X by InvoiceXML? 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 Dropbox and Factur-X by InvoiceXML 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.
