Everything your agent can do with SureForms and Factur-X by InvoiceXML ## Triggers and actions 1 trigger · 19 actions - Trigger **New Form Submission** Triggers when there is a new form submission on your website. - Action **Add form** Creates a new SureForms form with the given title and fields. - Action **Delete entry** Permanently deletes one or more SureForms form entries. - Action **Delete form** Permanently deletes a SureForms form. - Action **Get entry** Returns a single SureForms form entry (submission) by its ID. - Action **Get form** Returns the details of a single SureForms form, including its fields and settings. - Action **List entries** Returns the form entries (submissions) on your SureForms site. - Action **List forms** Returns all forms on the connected SureForms site. - Action **Update entry** Marks one or more SureForms form entries as read or unread. - Action **Update form** Changes a SureForms form's title or status. - Action **Convert CII XML to Factur-X** Converts a CII XML invoice into a Factur-X compliant PDF/A-3 with the XML embedded. The API generates a visual PDF rendering of the invoice and packages it with the source CII XML. - Action **Convert Factur-X PDF to CII** Extracts the embedded CII (UN/CEFACT Cross Industry Invoice) XML from a Factur-X PDF and returns it as a standalone XML file. - Action **Convert Factur-X PDF to UBL** Extracts the embedded CII XML from a Factur-X PDF and converts it to UBL (Universal Business Language) XML. - Action **Convert UBL XML to Factur-X** Converts a UBL XML invoice into a Factur-X compliant PDF/A-3. 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 - [ **SureForms** SureForms is a drag-and-drop form builder that helps you create forms, such as contact, feedback, lead...](https://apiant.ai/connections/sureforms) - [ **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 SureForms - [ **SureForms to Trello** Trello is a visual collaboration tool that organizes projects into boards, lists, and cards.](https://apiant.ai/connect/sureforms-to-trello) - [ **SureForms to Zoom** Zoom unifies cloud video conferencing, simple online meetings, group messaging, and a software-based...](https://apiant.ai/connect/sureforms-to-zoom) - [ **SureForms to Twilio** Cloud communications platform for sending SMS/MMS messages, making and managing voice calls, and looking up...](https://apiant.ai/connect/sureforms-to-twilio) - [ **SureForms to Typeform** Build and publish online forms, surveys, and quizzes with Typeform.](https://apiant.ai/connect/sureforms-to-typeform) - [ **SureForms to Webflow** Webflow is a professional website builder and CMS for designing, building, and launching responsive...](https://apiant.ai/connect/sureforms-to-webflow) - [ **SureForms to Wix** The Wix website builder gives businesses of any size the tools to create, manage and grow a fully integrated...](https://apiant.ai/connect/sureforms-to-wix) ## More into Factur-X by InvoiceXML - [ **Stripe to Factur-X by InvoiceXML** Stripe is a payment processing platform for online businesses.](https://apiant.ai/connect/stripe-to-factur-x-by-invoicexml) - [ **HubSpot to Factur-X by InvoiceXML** HubSpot is your all-in-one stop for all of your marketing software needs.](https://apiant.ai/connect/hubspot-to-factur-x-by-invoicexml) - [ **Salesforce to Factur-X by InvoiceXML** Salesforce is a leading enterprise customer relationship management (CRM) platform.](https://apiant.ai/connect/salesforce-to-factur-x-by-invoicexml) - [ **Slack to Factur-X by InvoiceXML** Slack is a messaging platform for teams.

Any of SureForms's 1 trigger in the catalog, including New Form Submission. 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 SureForms? 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 SureForms? Factur-X by InvoiceXML has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in SureForms. 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 SureForms 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 SureForms 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.
