Short answer

How can I send payment requests using my AI?

Your agent uses the Tink connector to call the create_payment_request tool. You provide the recipient's IBAN and the amount in chat, and the AI handles the request. You'll see the specific outcomes of the request below.

The outcomes

Where your requests land

The AI handles the technical setup so the request reaches the banking system.

AUTOMATED

Request creation

The AI uses the Tink tool to build the request. You get a confirmation once the data is sent to the bank.

DIRECT

Targeted IBANs

The AI maps your text instructions to the correct IBAN. This removes the need to manually enter bank details.

HUMAN

Manual approval

The AI cannot move money. You still need to log into your bank to authorize the actual transfer.

SYNCED

Data extraction

If you have payment details in a sheet or a message, the AI pulls those values to fill the request.

The workflow

What your AI does when a request is requested.

The AI acts as the interface between your chat and the Tink API.

  1. Extract data

    The AI pulls the IBAN, amount, and currency from your message.

  2. Format request

    The agent organizes the extracted data into the specific format the bank requires.

    create_payment_request

  3. Execute call

    The AI triggers the tool to send the request to the Tink service.

    create_payment_request

  4. Report result

    The AI tells you if the request was successfully sent or if the bank rejected the details.
