2. Creating Your Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once you are logged into Pabbly Connect, you can create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to start. You will be prompted to choose between the new workflow builder and the classic one. Select the new workflow builder for a modern experience.

• Click on the ‘Select’ button after choosing the new workflow builder.
• Provide a name for your workflow, such as ‘Send Thank You Email After Payment Over Stripe’.
• Choose a folder for your workflow or keep it in the default folder.

After creating your workflow, you will be directed to the workflow page where you can set up triggers and actions. This is where Pabbly Connect shines by allowing you to integrate Stripe as your trigger app.

3. Setting Up Stripe as the Trigger App

Now, select Stripe as your trigger app in Pabbly Connect. This means that the workflow will initiate whenever a new payment is received through Stripe. Choose the event type as ‘New Charge’ to ensure that the workflow triggers upon successful payments.

Click the ‘Connect’ button to get your webhook URL, which you will need to paste into your Stripe account. This URL allows Pabbly Connect to receive data about new charges directly from Stripe.

• Log in to your Stripe account and navigate to the ‘Developers’ section.
• Select ‘Webhooks’ and then click on ‘Add Endpoint’.
• Paste the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect and select the event ‘Charge.succeeded’.

After setting this up, you will have successfully connected Stripe to Pabbly Connect, and you can proceed to test the integration.

4. Testing the Integration with a Stripe Payment

To test the integration, you need to make a payment through Stripe. Copy the payment link generated in your Stripe account and open it in a new tab. Fill in the required details and click the ‘Pay’ button to complete the transaction.

Once the payment is successful, go back to Pabbly Connect to check if the webhook response has been received. You should see a confirmation that the charge was successful, along with the details of the payment.

Check the response in Pabbly Connect to verify that it captures the payment details. Ensure that all relevant payment information is displayed correctly.

With the successful test, you can now set up the action to send thank you emails through Gmail.

5. Sending Thank You Emails via Gmail

For the final step, set Gmail as your action app in Pabbly Connect. This will allow you to send automated thank you emails to customers after they make a payment. Select the action event as ‘Send Email’.

Connect your Gmail account by clicking on the ‘Connect’ button and authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Gmail. Once connected, you will need to map the fields for the email, such as the recipient’s address, subject, and content.

Enter the recipient’s email address, which can be dynamically mapped from the Stripe response. Provide a subject line, such as ‘Payment Received: Thank You’. Compose the email body, thanking the customer for their payment and including relevant details.

After filling in these fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to send a test email. Check your Gmail inbox to confirm that the thank you email has been received successfully.
