Action
Extract Invoice JSONPulls 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 XMLRetrieves 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 PDFRenders 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 InvoiceChecks whether a Factur-X invoice is structurally and semantically valid, including schema status, conformance level, and rule-level issues.
No trigger or action matches that. Ask your agent to add it: it reads the API documentation and builds what you describe.
