Let us explore how you can integrate Stripe with Google Drive and automatically share Google Drive files with customers upon receiving payment on Stripe.
This automation requires a one-time setup, for which we will use Pabbly Connect.
We will link Stripe with Pabbly Connect to capture successful payment details, link Pabbly Connect with Google Drive, and share the Google Drive file via Gmail.
Steps to Automatically Share Google Drive Files Upon Receiving Payment on Stripe
1. Sign In / Sign Up to Pabbly Connect and Create a Workflow
2. Establish a Connection between Stripe and Pabbly Connect
3. Setup Google Drive as the Action App to Share Files
Step 1:- Sign In / Sign Up to Pabbly Connect and Create a Workflow
A. Sign In / Sign Up
To begin this process, visit Pabbly Connect and create your account by clicking on the ‘Sign Up Free’ button. You can also click on Sign In if you already have an account.
Click on the Pabbly Connect ‘Access Now’ button
B. Create Workflow
To create a new workflow, click the ‘Create Workflow’ button.
Name your workflow, and click on ‘Create’.
Step 2:- Establish a Connection between Stripe and Pabbly Connect
We will look at the steps through which we can establish a link between Stripe and Pabbly Connect. This will help us capture the data for each successful payment.
A. Trigger App
Trigger allows us to choose the application that will receive the data for Pabbly Connect. In our case, it would be Stripe.
Expand the Trigger Step, choose ‘Stripe’ as your Action App, and select ‘New Charge’ as an Action Event.
B. Webhook URL
A new Webhook URL will get generated. You will use this Webhook URL to create a connection with your Stripe account. Copy the Webhook URL.
As soon as you Copy the Webhook URL, Pabbly Connect will start looking to capture data from Stripe, as indicated by the rotating Waiting For Webhook Response button.
C. Connect Stripe Account
To connect with your Stripe account, log in to your Stripe account, and click on ‘Webhooks settings’.
You will be redirected to your Stripe account, click the ‘Add endpoint’ button.
In the Endpoint URL, paste the Webhook URL we copied earlier, and click on ‘Select events’.
Select ‘charge.succeeded’ as events to send, and click on ‘Add events’.
At last, click on ‘Add endpoint’ and your connection will be established.
D. Test Connection
Let us test the connection we just established by making a dummy payment. Open your Stripe payment form in an incognito tab, fill in the credentials and make a payment.
You will receive a successful payment response along with the customer details.
Step 3:- Setup Google Drive as the Action App to Share Files
Action allows us to choose the application that will get executed by the workflow trigger.
Upon receiving the payment, we essentially want to share files via Google Drive. Thus, Google Drive will be our Action App.
A. Action App
Choose ‘Google Drive’ as the Action App, select ‘Share a File’ as an Action Event, and click on ‘Connect’.
B. Connect Google Drive Account
To connect with your Google Drive account, select ‘Add New Connection’ and click on ‘Connect With Google Drive’. Also, grant the authorization.
C. Map Necessary Fields
Now that you have connected your Google Drive account, all you need is to map the necessary details from the step above. Mapping ensures our data remains dynamic and changes as per the received responses.
Select the File you want to share.
Map the Email address from the trigger step.
Select Role, and click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’.
The moment you click on Save & Send Test Request, the file will be sent to the recipient via email.
Our automation is complete. We have successfully integrated Stripe with Google Drive. Customers who make a successful payment on Stripe will now automatically receive the Google Drive file via Gmail.
