On New Stripe Invoice Payment, Update HubSpot and Notify the Team in Slack

Key Features and Highlights

This workflow automatically updates the deal status to "Paid" in HubSpot when a Stripe invoice payment is successful, and sends real-time payment details to the finance team via Slack. It supports precise matching of corresponding deals based on the Purchase Order Number (PO Number), enhancing data accuracy and team responsiveness.

Core Problems Addressed

• Automates the handling of Stripe invoice payment events, reducing manual reconciliation and manual updates in HubSpot.
• Resolves the issue of associating payment records with CRM deals by accurately locating corresponding deals based on PO Number.
• Provides automatic alerts for exceptional scenarios, such as missing PO Numbers or unmatched deals, via Slack notifications to relevant personnel, preventing missed orders and accounting confusion.

Use Cases

Ideal for businesses that use Stripe for payment collection and HubSpot for sales deal management, especially finance teams aiming to achieve automated reconciliation and real-time synchronization of payment status to improve operational efficiency and data transparency.

Main Process Steps

1. Stripe triggers the "invoice.payment_succeeded" event.
2. Check if the payment information contains a PO Number:
   • If no PO Number: send a Slack alert indicating the missing PO Number.
   • If PO Number exists: query the corresponding deal record in HubSpot.
3. Based on the query result:
   • If no matching deal is found: send a Slack alert notification.
   • If a matching deal is found: update the deal status to "Paid."
4. After successful payment, send detailed payment information to a designated Slack channel to ensure the team is promptly informed.
