Contífico and Meteor AI agents
Connect Contifico to Meteor: a Met quotes, checks stock by warehouse, finds customers by mobile number and tracks the e-invoice at the SRI. 16 real tools.
How does Contífico connect to Meteor?
Meteor connects to Contifico through its API and gives your Met 16 tools to run the Ecuadorian commercial front from a live conversation: check the catalog with its prices and its stock by warehouse, identify a person by national ID, tax ID or mobile number, build a quote with the totals already reconciled, review a customer's receivables, and answer whether the e-invoice is authorized by the SRI, with its RIDE and its XML. Five tools stay with the operator on the web: invoicing, recording a payment, moving inventory, listing the bank accounts and reading the company profile. The connector refuses them when the request comes from a channel Met, because an authorized electronic document is corrected with a credit note and not with a delete. The last two only read and are still inside the block, because that is accounting data, not catalog data.
Where it applies: Ecuador. The connector computes the totals before issuing because Contifico does not: it sends the taxed subtotal, the zero rated base, the non taxable base, the excise tax and the VAT already solved.
What it automates
What a Meteor Met does with Contífico
Quote over WhatsApp with the totals reconciled
A customer asks for a proforma. Your Met looks up each product, takes the price and the VAT rate from the catalog, computes the document line by line and creates the quote. If the total does not match the one already promised to the customer, the tool aborts and creates nothing. If the person asking is a new customer, your Met registers them first: quoting does not create them on its own.
Recognize the customer by their mobile number
Contifico does not index phone numbers in its search, so anyone writing from a new number would be a stranger. The connector walks the people master comparing the normalized number, and only proposes creating a record when the person truly is not there.
Answer is my invoice authorized yet
When the document email never arrived, your Met checks the record and answers where it stands: unsigned, signed, filed with the SRI or authorized. Once authorized, it hands over the link to the RIDE and to the XML in the same conversation.
Review receivables before the call
Your Met filters a customer's documents by date range, shows which ones still carry a balance and, for each one, which payments were applied and under what terms. The collection call starts from the right number instead of an approximation.
16 tools
Everything your Met can ask Contífico for
Each one is a real action in the connector. You can switch off the ones you would rather it never used.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
consultar_producto | Finds a product or service by name or code and returns its id, its retail price, its VAT and its total stock. |
consultar_stock | Returns availability for a product broken down by warehouse, not just the total. |
listar_inventario | Lists or searches the catalog, returning name, code, the four price lists, VAT and stock in one call. |
listar_bodegas | Lists warehouses with their id and which ones are flagged for sales, purchasing and production. |
buscar_cliente | Identifies a person by legal name, national ID, tax ID, email or mobile, with their latest documents. |
crear_cliente | Creates a person, customer or supplier, inferring from the tax ID whether they are an individual or a company. |
crear_cotizacion | Creates a quote with totals computed from the catalog. It is not an invoice and it never reaches the SRI. It requires the person to exist already; quoting does not create them. |
crear_factura | Issues a sales invoice and, when asked for an electronic one, signs it and files it with the SRI. Unlike the quote, it does register a new customer. Desk only, the connector refuses it for a channel Met. |
listar_documentos | Filters invoices, quotes and credit notes by type, customer and dates, with their total and balance. |
consultar_estado_sri | Says where the electronic document stands with the SRI and returns the link to its RIDE and its XML. |
registrar_cobro | Records a payment against a document in cash, cheque, card or bank transfer. Desk only, the connector refuses it for a channel Met. |
consultar_cobros | Lists the payments already applied to a document and the agreed payment terms. |
listar_movimientos_inventario | Lists inbound, outbound, transfers and cost adjustments by warehouse, type and date range. |
registrar_movimiento_inventario | Records an inbound, an outbound, a transfer between warehouses or a cost adjustment. It moves real stock. Desk only, the connector refuses it for a channel Met. |
listar_cuentas_bancarias | Lists the bank accounts configured, which is what a transfer payment needs. It only reads, but it sits in the fiscal group, so it is desk only. |
consultar_empresa | Returns the company configuration. Useful to verify that the credential works. It only reads, but it sits in the fiscal group, so it is desk only. |
The limits
What the Contífico integration does NOT do
We would rather say it here than have you find out during rollout.
-
It does not invoice, record payments or move inventory from a channel Met. The connector refuses those tools over WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger: an electronic document authorized by the SRI cannot be deleted, it is corrected with a credit note.
-
It does not list bank accounts or read the company profile from a channel either. Both only read, but they sit in the same fiscal group as the writes and the block reaches them too. That is five tools out of sixteen, not three.
-
It does not register the customer while quoting. Invoicing does create them, because there the registration is part of the commercial act; quoting does not, so the master does not fill with duplicates. A new customer has to be created first and the quote retried with their id.
-
It does not issue credit notes and it does not void documents. It can list and read them, but correcting an authorized document happens in Contifico, with accounting judgment involved.
-
It does not trust totals handed to it. Contifico does not compute them, so the connector does, and if they disagree with the total already quoted the operation stops without issuing.
-
It does not generate the document number. Contifico requires the sequence with its establishment and issuing point, and that comes from your own authorized numbering.
-
It is not the Siigo integration. Siigo bought Contifico, but they are separate products with incompatible APIs: if you invoice in Siigo Nube, the sheet you want is the Siigo one.
-
It does not close the books, produce financial statements or file tax returns. It is an operating window into Contifico, not a replacement for your accountant.
Before you start
What you need to connect Contífico
- 1
A Contifico API key
You request it from Contifico support and its availability depends on the plan you have contracted. It travels as is in the authorization header, with no prefix, and is stored encrypted per workspace.
- 2
The POS API token
It comes from the same request as the API key. Contifico requires it to create documents and people; catalog, receivables and SRI lookups work without it.
- 3
Your authorized numbering
The one you already use in Contifico, with its establishment and issuing point. The connector takes it as part of the document. It neither invents nor reserves it.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about Contífico and Meteor
No. Siigo bought Contifico, but each keeps its own API and they are not interchangeable: Siigo authenticates with a username and access key to mint a token, Contifico with a static key. Meteor has one connector for each, and you pick the one your books run on.
Yes, with the document marked as electronic: Contifico signs it and files it with the SRI. That tool runs for a web operator, not for a channel Met, and the connector confirms the line items and the total first. An issued document is not undone by deleting it.
The connector does, before sending the document. It rounds line by line and separates what the SRI treats as different: a zero rate is not the same as not subject to VAT and they go to different fields, and the excise tax enters the VAT base.
Yes. Contifico's own search does not index phone numbers, so the connector walks the people master comparing the number normalized to Ecuadorian format. The sweep is capped, and when it does not cover the whole master the answer says so.
By checking the document status. The answer distinguishes four moments, and only the last one means the SRI accepted it. Once authorized it carries the link to the RIDE and the XML, which is what you can resend to anyone claiming the email never arrived.
