Actions
What your agents can do in PayPal
5 actions. Each one is a tool your agents can call and a step your workflows can run.
Read 2
Look things up. Nothing changes.
Get a checkout order
Reads a checkout order by its ID: status (CREATED, APPROVED, COMPLETED …), amounts, payer and any captures.
List transactions
Lists the account's transactions between two dates at most 31 days apart, newest data about three hours behind, optionally only one transaction ID or status.
Write 3
Create, change or send.
Create a draft invoice
Creates a draft invoice in one currency with line items.
Send an invoice
Sends a draft invoice to its recipient by email, with an optional subject and note, so they can pay it.
Create a checkout order
Creates a PayPal checkout order for an amount in one currency, with an optional description, your own reference and invoice IDs, and the pages to return to after approval.
A person can approve first
Any write action can be set to wait for a person's approval before it runs, so an agent asks before it changes anything.
Connection
How it connects
Connect it once in the console, then give it to the agents and workflows that need it.
Paste the client ID and secret of an app your organization registered with PayPal. The platform fetches its tokens itself (OAuth client credentials).
Settings
- Environment
Kept safe
- Credentials are stored encrypted with your organization's own keys.
- They are opened only by the process that makes the call, at the moment it runs, and never go into a prompt or the browser.
- Calls go only to the tool's own servers.
Ideas
Ideas to start with
Starting points made only from the actions above. Mix them with any other tool your agents can use.
- 01
Ask about your PayPal data
Ask a question in plain words. The agent can get a checkout order or list transactions in PayPal, then answers with what it found.
- 02
Let an agent update PayPal
Have the agent create a draft invoice or send an invoice in PayPal as part of a larger task. Turn on approval and a person signs off on each change first.
- 03
Share what it finds in Slack
Give one agent PayPal and Slack: it can get a checkout order in PayPal and post a summary to a Slack channel in the same run.
