Overview

Three sentences about what the AI agent does and its benefits. Directly explain what the agent does end-to-end.

This AI agent automates the end-to-end invoicing flow after Stripe checkout completions. It pulls line items from Stripe, builds a complete invoice payload with your company details, and ensures consistent invoice numbering and due dates. It then generates a branded PDF via TemplateFox, emails it to the customer with a clear payment summary, and saves a copy to Google Drive for bookkeeping.

FAQ

FAQ

Practical, real concerns with clear answers.

Yes. The AI agent uses Stripe data to determine currency and totals for each checkout. Configure your template to display currency consistently; TemplateFox handles amount formatting in the generated PDF. Tax calculations align with Stripe settings for the applicable jurisdictions. If currencies vary within a day, the agent can generate separate invoices per currency.

Absolutely. You customize templates in TemplateFox and select the template in the workflow. The AI agent maps data fields (like client_name, invoiceTotal, etc.) to the template. Branding elements such as logos, colors, and banking details can be stored in the template and do not require dynamic passing. Changes apply to all invoices generated after you update the template.

If line items cannot be retrieved, the AI agent logs the error and retries a defined number of times. If it still fails, it creates a minimal invoice with core data like totals and due date and flags it for manual review. The customer is not emailed until the invoice is valid. This ensures you do not send incomplete invoices, and audit logs help resolve issues quickly.

Invoices are auto-numbered by the Code node using a configurable format (for example, INV-YYYY-MMDD-XXXXXX). The date and a unique session identifier ensure each number is unique. You can adjust the format to fit your branding or accounting needs. The numbering is consistent across email and Drive storage.

The workflow uses OAuth2 for Gmail access, so credentials are not transmitted as plain requests. Data in emails is limited to invoice totals and a link to the PDF rather than sensitive payment details. Email templates are customizable to show only required information. Drive access is scoped to the designated folder and governed by your Drive permissions.

Yes. Due dates are configurable in the invoice data builder (default Net 30). Tax calculations rely on Stripe tax settings and the invoice template. You can modify the calculation logic in the Code node without altering the integration flow. Changes apply to subsequent invoices after deployment.

Yes. Use Stripe in test mode to simulate checkouts and verify that invoices are generated, emailed, and archived without sending real emails. Test templates with sample data to confirm layout and fields. Review logs and Drive folder contents to ensure the end-to-end flow behaves as expected. Only after successful testing should you switch to live mode.
