Setup guide (opens in a new tab)Paperless holds the agreements, order forms and signed paperwork; Erpnext holds the customers, items, invoices and orders behind them. Joining the two means a new customer or invoice in Erpnext can produce the right Paperless document from a template, and a document created or updated in Paperless can write back a lead, customer record, sales order or invoice in Erpnext.

Questions
Erpnext and Paperless, answered
Can a document be created in Paperless automatically when something happens in Erpnext?
Yes. The New Customer and New Sales Invoice triggers in Erpnext can lead to List Templates and Create Document (From Template) in Paperless, with recipients, form-field defaults and variables filled from the Erpnext record. You can also set the document state so it goes out to the recipient.
What can a Paperless document do inside Erpnext?
The New document created and Document updated triggers can drive Erpnext actions such as Add Lead, Add Customer, Add Sales Order, Add Sales Invoice or Update Customer. The agent checks conditions first, for example looking up an existing customer before deciding whether to create or update one.
What can start an automation from Erpnext?
Any of Erpnext's 2 triggers in the catalog, including New Customer and New Sales Invoice. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in Paperless when something happens in Erpnext?
Any of Paperless's 6 actions, including Create Document (From Template), List Templates, Update Document and Get Document. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Paperless to Erpnext?
Yes. When something happens in Paperless, your agent can act in Erpnext too. This page covers both directions: Paperless's triggers and Erpnext's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Erpnext or Paperless?
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 Erpnext and Paperless 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.
