1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Integration

To begin integrating Stripe and Slack, you first need to set up Pabbly Connect. This platform allows you to automate workflows between different applications seamlessly. After creating your account, log into the Pabbly Connect dashboard.

Once logged in, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Here, you can name your workflow. For this integration, we will name it ‘Send Stripe Payment Notifications on Slack Automatically’. Click ‘Create’ to proceed to the next step.

2. Selecting Stripe and Slack in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will select the applications you want to connect using Pabbly Connect. Start by choosing Stripe as your trigger application. The trigger event will be set to ‘Checkout Session Completed’. This means that every time a payment is successfully processed, the workflow will be triggered.

• Choose ‘Stripe’ as the trigger application.
• Select ‘Checkout Session Completed’ as the trigger event.
• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

After selecting the trigger, you will be directed to copy a webhook URL. This URL will be used in your Stripe dashboard to send payment notifications back to Pabbly Connect. Make sure to follow the instructions provided carefully to set up the webhook in Stripe.

3. Configuring the Stripe Webhook

Now, navigate to your Stripe dashboard and access the Developer section. Here, you will find the Webhooks option. Click on it and then select ‘Add Endpoint’. Paste the webhook URL you copied from Pabbly Connect into the URL field.

In the event selection, choose the same event you set in Pabbly Connect, which is ‘Checkout Session Completed’. Save the endpoint to finalize the configuration. This step ensures that Stripe will notify Pabbly Connect whenever a payment is processed.

• Add a new endpoint in Stripe.
• Paste the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect.
• Select ‘Checkout Session Completed’ as the event.

Once saved, Stripe will begin sending payment notifications to Pabbly Connect whenever a checkout session is completed, allowing you to automate further actions.

4. Defining Conditions for Notifications

After setting up the webhook, it’s time to define conditions for the notifications sent to Slack. Use the filter feature in Pabbly Connect to specify that notifications should only be sent for specific payment links. This is crucial for ensuring that only relevant notifications reach your team.

Click on the plus icon after your Stripe step and select the filter option. Here, you can set the condition based on the payment link received from the Stripe response. If the payment link matches the specific URL, the workflow will proceed to send a notification.

Click the plus icon after the Stripe step. Select the filter feature. Set the condition to match the payment link.

This filtering process ensures that your team only receives notifications for payments made through specific links, improving communication and reducing unnecessary alerts.

5. Sending Notifications to Slack

Now that your conditions are set, it’s time to connect Slack to Pabbly Connect. Select Slack as your action application and choose the action event ‘Send Channel Message’. This allows you to send notifications directly to your team’s Slack channel whenever a payment is processed.

To connect Slack, click on ‘Add New Connection’ and follow the prompts to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Slack account. Once connected, select the channel where you want to send notifications, such as the General channel, and customize the message with payment details.

Select Slack as the action application. Choose ‘Send Channel Message’ as the action event. Map the payment details to your message.

By mapping the payment details, you ensure that each notification includes specific information such as the customer’s name, email, and payment amount. This setup allows your team to stay informed about important transactions in real-time.

Conclusion

Integrating Stripe and Slack using Pabbly Connect is a powerful way to automate payment notifications. By following this tutorial, you can ensure your team receives timely updates about transactions, enhancing communication and efficiency.
