To send AI-powered follow-up emails after a product purchase via Stripe, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect website and signing in with your credentials. If you are a new user, you can sign up for free. This platform will facilitate the integration between Stripe and your email service.

Once logged in, you can create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and select the classic version for a familiar interface. Name your workflow appropriately, such as ‘Send AI-Powered Follow-Up Emails After Product Purchase via Stripe.’ This sets the stage for automating your email follow-ups.

2. Setting Up Stripe Integration in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will set up the Stripe integration using Pabbly Connect. Choose Stripe as your trigger application and select the trigger event as ‘Checkout Session Completed’. This event will initiate the workflow whenever a product is purchased. Pabbly Connect will provide a webhook URL that you need to configure in your Stripe account.

• Sign in to your Stripe account and go to the Developers page.
• Click on ‘Webhooks’ and then select ‘Add Endpoint’.
• Paste the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect and select ‘Checkout Session Completed’ as the event.

After setting up the webhook, return to Pabbly Connect and refresh the fields to capture the data from the Stripe transaction. You will then test the integration by completing a payment on Stripe to ensure everything is working correctly.

3. Integrating OpenAI for Email Content Generation

Now, it’s time to integrate OpenAI within Pabbly Connect to generate the email content automatically. After the Stripe integration, add OpenAI as the action application. Choose ‘ChatGPT’ as the action event. You will need to connect your OpenAI account by providing the API key, which can be generated from your OpenAI account settings.

Once connected, you will set up the prompt for the AI to generate the email content. This prompt should include specific details like the customer’s name and the product purchased. Use the data mapped from Stripe to ensure that the emails are personalized. For example, use the customer’s name from the Stripe response to make the email more engaging.

4. Sending Emails via Gmail with Pabbly Connect

The final step involves integrating Gmail to send the generated emails. In Pabbly Connect, add Gmail as the action application and select ‘Send Email’ as the action event. You will need to connect your Gmail account by authorizing Pabbly Connect to send emails on your behalf.

• Map the recipient email field with the customer’s email from Stripe.
• Set the email subject dynamically, such as ‘Thank You for Your Purchase, [Customer Name]’.
• Include the email content generated by OpenAI in the email body.

After mapping all necessary fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test’ to verify that the email is sent successfully. Check your Gmail account to confirm that the email has been received.
