To start automating your Stripe refunds to MySQL, first access Pabbly Connect. This powerful integration platform allows you to connect various applications seamlessly. If you’re not a user yet, you can create a free account in just a few minutes.

Once logged in, you’ll be directed to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. From here, click on the blue ‘Create Workflow’ button and enter a name for your workflow, such as ‘Add Stripe Refund Details to MySQL Automatically’. After naming it, click on ‘Create’ to proceed.

2. Setting Up Trigger and Action with Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will configure the trigger and action within Pabbly Connect. The trigger specifies when the automation should start, while the action defines what happens next. Select Stripe as your trigger application and choose the trigger event for ‘New Refund’.

• Choose Stripe as the trigger application.
• Select the trigger event as ‘New Refund’.
• Copy the generated webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

Next, integrate this webhook URL into your Stripe account. Navigate to the Stripe dashboard, click on the ‘Developers’ section, and then select ‘Webhooks’. Here, add a new endpoint and paste the copied URL. Ensure you select the event ‘Charge Refunded’ to listen for refund events.

3. Testing the Integration with Pabbly Connect

After setting up the webhook, it’s time to test the integration. Initiate a refund in Stripe for a recent payment. This action will trigger the webhook and send refund details to Pabbly Connect. You should see a response indicating that the data has been successfully received.

To verify the received data, check the Pabbly Connect dashboard. You should see the refund type, amount, and customer details captured from the Stripe event. This confirms that the connection between Stripe and Pabbly Connect is functioning correctly.

4. Inserting Data into MySQL Using Pabbly Connect

Now that the refund details are captured, the next step is to insert this data into your MySQL database. In Pabbly Connect, select MySQL as your action application and choose the action event to ‘Insert Row’. Provide your database credentials, including the username, password, and database name.

• Select MySQL as the action application.
• Choose the action event ‘Insert Row’.
• Map the fields with the data received from Stripe.

Ensure you map all necessary fields such as customer name, email, refund amount, and product name. Once everything is set up, click on the button to execute the action. This will insert the refund details into your specified MySQL table.

5. Conclusion

By following these steps, you can automate the process of adding Stripe refund details directly to your MySQL database using Pabbly Connect.
