Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To automatically share digital downloads after a successful Stripe payment, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the Pabbly website and signing in or signing up for a free account. If you are a new user, signing up will give you 100 free tasks every month.

Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard where you will see various Pabbly applications. Click on Pabbly Connect to begin creating your workflow. This platform is essential for connecting Stripe and Google Drive to facilitate the automatic sharing process.

Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing Pabbly Connect, you will need to create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button, and name your workflow something like ‘Automatically Share Digital Downloads on Successful Stripe Payment’. Choose a folder to save your workflow, such as ‘Automations’.

In this workflow, you will set up a trigger and an action. The trigger will be from Stripe, specifically the event of a new charge. This means that every time a payment is processed through Stripe, Pabbly Connect will initiate the workflow to share the digital download.

Setting Up the Stripe Trigger in Pabbly Connect

To set up the Stripe trigger in Pabbly Connect, select Stripe as your trigger application and choose the event ‘New Charge’. You will be provided with a webhook URL which you need to copy. This URL is crucial as it connects your Pabbly workflow with your Stripe account.

Next, log into your Stripe account and navigate to the Developers section. Here, go to Webhooks and click on ‘Add Endpoint’. Paste the copied webhook URL into the endpoint URL field. You can leave the description blank and set the version to the latest API. Select the event ‘Charge Succeeded’ to ensure that your workflow triggers only when a payment is successfully processed.

Testing the Stripe Integration with Pabbly Connect

Once you have set up the Stripe trigger, it’s time to test the integration. You can do this by using your Stripe payment link. Open the payment link in a new tab and enter the required details to complete a purchase. Make sure to use a valid email address to receive the digital download.

• Enter your email address for the purchase.
• Fill in the billing information including address and card details.
• Click on subscribe to process the payment.

After completing the payment, check back in Pabbly Connect to confirm that the workflow has captured the response. You should see all the payment details, confirming that the trigger has successfully activated.

Setting Up Google Drive Action in Pabbly Connect

Now that the Stripe trigger is working, you need to set up the action in Pabbly Connect to share the digital download via Google Drive. Select Google Drive as your action application and choose the action event ‘Share a File’. This action will allow you to send the PDF file to the customer after payment confirmation.

To connect your Google Drive account, click on ‘Connect’ and either select an existing connection or add a new one. If creating a new connection, sign in to your Google account and grant the necessary permissions. After that, you will need to specify the file ID of the PDF you wish to share, ensuring that it corresponds to the Java notes PDF in your Google Drive.

For the email field, map the billing email from the Stripe trigger response. This mapping ensures that the email is dynamically updated with each new payment, allowing the correct customer to receive the PDF. Finally, set the role to ‘Viewer’ and save your settings.
