Automatically detect failed subscription payments and trigger coordinated follow-up across email, SMS, and support tickets.

Workflow Steps

1

Stripe

Webhook for failed payments

Configure Stripe webhooks to trigger whenever a subscription payment fails. Set up the webhook to capture customer details, payment amount, failure reason, and customer contact information for immediate processing.

2

Zapier

Route to multi-channel follow-up

Create a Zapier workflow triggered by Stripe webhook data. Set up conditional logic to determine follow-up method based on failure type and customer tier (premium customers get phone calls, others get email/SMS).

3

Twilio

Send SMS payment reminders

Configure Twilio to send immediate SMS notifications for failed payments with a direct payment link. Include personalized message with customer name, amount owed, and easy payment update instructions.

4

HubSpot

Create support tickets for high-value accounts

For customers with high monthly values or multiple failed attempts, automatically create prioritized support tickets in HubSpot. Include all payment context and trigger assignment to your customer success team for personal outreach.
