Generate Invoices in Pipedream

Quick answer

Yes — generate invoices in Pipedream with the Invovate component (or a plain HTTP request to POST /api/generate-invoice). Pass your free API key as a prop and return a 7-day PDF link.

How: Invovate Pipedream action, or an HTTP / Node step
Auth: Free inv_ key as an action prop
Trigger from: Stripe · webhooks · schedule · any Pipedream trigger
Output: PDF link · JSON totals · UBL 2.1
Engine: Invovate REST API

Add the step

In a workflow, add the Invovate generate-invoice action (from the invovate-pipedream component) and set your free key from invovate.com/auth as the API-key prop. No app-registry connection required.

Or use a plain HTTP step

Any Pipedream HTTP or Node code step can call the API directly:

curl -X POST https://invovate.com/api/generate-invoice \ -H "Authorization: Bearer inv_your_key" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"output":"pdf","from":{"name":"Acme LLC"},"to":{"name":"Globex"},"items":[{"description":"Consulting","quantity":2,"unit_price":150,"tax_rate":20}]}' \ --output invoice.pdf

Use the returned hosted_url downstream (email, Slack, storage).

Frequently asked questions

Can Pipedream generate invoices?

Yes — via the Invovate component or a direct HTTP request to the Invovate API. It returns a 7-day PDF link.

Do I need to register an app?

No — pass your free inv_ key as a prop; no OAuth/app-registry step is needed.

What can trigger it?

Any Pipedream trigger — Stripe events, webhooks, schedules, form submissions.

Not regulated e-invoicing. Invovate generates invoice documents (PDF, JSON, UBL 2.1) but is not a regulated electronic-invoice transmission service — no Peppol / Factur-X / ZUGFeRD / XRechnung / NF-e compliance or government-network delivery. UBL export is for interoperability and archival only.
