Automatically Send Every Stripe Payment to Slack in Real Time

Connect Stripe and Slack in n8n: each new payment is captured and sent straight to Slack, in real time and completely hands-off.

  1. 1

    Add the Stripe Trigger node

    Start with a Stripe Trigger node — connect your Stripe account with your API key as a credential, then set Events to payment_intent.succeeded. Copy the webhook URL n8n shows and paste it into your Stripe Dashboard under Developers > Webhooks > Add Endpoint. This fires the workflow the moment a new payment arrives.

  2. 2

    Map the fields with a Set node

    Add a Set node after the trigger to shape the data cleanly. Create fields: amount to {{ $json.data.object.amount_received / 100 }} (cents to dollars), email to {{ $json.data.object.receipt_email }}, payment_id to {{ $json.data.object.id }}, and currency to {{ $json.data.object.currency }}. This turns the raw payload into tidy values your destination can use.

  3. 3

    Send it to Slack

    Add a Slack node set to operation Send Message. Connect your Slack workspace, choose the Channel, and set the message Text to a summary built from the Set-node fields, e.g. New payment: {{ $json.email }}.

  4. 4

    Activate and test

    Click Activate in the top-right of the canvas. Trigger a test payment in Stripe, then confirm it appears in Slack. Once it works, you're done — every new payment now flows through automatically.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any coding skills to set this up?

No. n8n is a visual, drag-and-drop tool. You connect your Stripe and Slack accounts, point the nodes at the right form/sheet/channel, map the fields, and activate. No code required.

Can I send each payment to more than one place at once?

Absolutely. Branch the workflow after the Set node: connect it to multiple destination nodes so the same payment lands in Slack and, say, Slack or a spreadsheet simultaneously.
