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 - [ **Float** Float is the fast and friendly resource scheduling app. Keep track of who's working on what and when.](https://apiant.ai/connections/float) - [ **Factur-X by InvoiceXML** Factur-X by InvoiceXML is an e-invoice automation: create, transform, validate, and extract Factur-X PDFs...](https://apiant.ai/connections/factur-x-by-invoicexml) Reviews ## What our customers say ## More from Float - [ **Float to HubSpot** HubSpot is your all-in-one stop for all of your marketing software needs.](https://apiant.ai/connect/float-to-hubspot) - [ **Float to Salesforce** Salesforce is a leading enterprise customer relationship management (CRM) platform.](https://apiant.ai/connect/float-to-salesforce) - [ **Float to Slack** Slack is a messaging platform for teams.

Any of Float's 15 triggers in the catalog, including New Allocation, New Client, New Department and New Logged Time. 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 Float? 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 Float? Factur-X by InvoiceXML has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Float. 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 Float 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 Float 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.
