Read out E-Invoice

This action allows you to read an e-invoice in order to work with its data. The following configuration options are available:

• File:
  Define the placeholder for the file to be read.
  Note: You can only read one file at a time. If you want to check multiple files (such as the attachments of an email), you need to set up a loop.

This action provides the following placeholders:

• E-Invoice available:
  This placeholder returns the value Yes if an e-invoice was found in the file, otherwise No.
  You can use this to modify the process flow, for example with a condition depending on whether an e-invoice was found or not.
  Note: If no valid invoice is found, all other placeholders will be empty.
