Watch Step By Step Video Tutorial Below

1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Stripe and Slack Integration

To initiate the integration between Stripe and Slack, first, you need to access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows seamless data transfer between applications without any coding knowledge.

Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect website. Sign in or create a free account. Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard and click on ‘Create Workflow’. Name your workflow, for instance, ‘Stripe to Slack’.

After naming, you will see a trigger dialogue box. This is where you can set up the integration. Click on the plus button to add action steps, which leads you to integrate Stripe with Pabbly Connect.

2. Integrating Stripe with Pabbly Connect

In this step, we will connect Stripe to Pabbly Connect. Select ‘Stripe’ as your application in the trigger setup. Choose the method ‘New Customer’ to specify the event that will trigger the action.

Upon selection, a webhook URL will be generated. This URL is essential for linking Stripe to Pabbly Connect. Copy this URL and head to your Stripe account.

In Stripe, navigate to the ‘Developers’ section, then click on ‘Webhooks’. Here, you can add a new endpoint. Paste the webhook URL you copied earlier. For the events to send, select ‘customer.created’ and save the endpoint. This enables Stripe to send customer data to Pabbly Connect.

3. Capturing Webhook Response in Pabbly Connect

After setting up the webhook, return to Pabbly Connect to capture the webhook response. To test this, create a new customer in Stripe.

Fill in the necessary details for the new customer, such as name and email. Once the customer is created, Pabbly Connect will automatically receive the data. You will see the customer details like city, state, and description appear in the webhook response section.

This step confirms that the integration between Stripe and Pabbly Connect is successful, allowing you to proceed to the next step of connecting Slack.

4. Connecting Slack to Pabbly Connect

Next, we will connect Slack to Pabbly Connect. In the action step setup, select ‘Slack’. Choose the method ‘Send Channel Message without any image’. This method allows you to send messages to a specified Slack channel.

To authenticate, click on ‘Connect with Slack’. A prompt will appear asking for permission to access your Slack account. Once authorized, select the channel where you want the messages to be sent, for example, ‘P demo’.

In the message field, type the message you want to send, such as ‘New customer created in Stripe’. You can also map the customer’s name dynamically to personalize the message. After setting this up, run a test request to ensure everything is working properly.

5. Final Testing and Automation of the Integration

Now that both Stripe and Slack are connected through Pabbly Connect, it’s time to test the integration. Create another new customer in Stripe to see if the message is sent to Slack.

After adding the new customer, check the Slack channel you selected earlier. You should see a message indicating that a new customer was created, along with their name. This confirms that the integration is functioning correctly.

With this setup, every time a new customer is created in Stripe, a message will automatically be sent to Slack, ensuring you never miss an update. You can automate various workflows using Pabbly Connect for different applications.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we demonstrated how to integrate Stripe and Slack using Pabbly Connect. This integration allows you to send instant Slack messages whenever a new customer is created in Stripe, enhancing your workflow efficiency.
