Paythen's Zapier app lets you send customer data from Paythen payments, into your CRM, Google Sheets, Slack, and most other apps you'll use in your business. We've highlighted some popular integrations here.
Here are the steps to use Paythen & Zapier
Create or log in to your Zapier account
Choose Zapier as the trigger app for a new Zap (or just go here)
Start creating a new Zap and choose Paythen from the list of trigger apps
At the moment, Paythen has three triggers – for a new customer on your Paythen account, a successful payment or when a customer completes a Paythen plan. We've explained each below.
Choose whether you want this zap to work for all plans or only for specific plans
If you choose a specific plan, you will also see the option to map any plan-specific custom fields in the next step
Choose an action app to send your data to, and configure that as you would any other Zap
Go live! 🎉
Note
There is a deliberate 3-5 minute delay between a customer being created in your Paythen account and the data being sent to Zapier – this ensures customers whose banks require additional authentication steps are always covered and included, and ensures no incomplete or invalid customer records are sent through to Zapier.
Zapier triggers
Customer created
When a customer is created in your Paythen account, send customer data including standard fields like the name, email, plan data like the plan name, expected vs. collected amounts, the customer summary link, and even custom field data. If the same customer signs up to multiple plans, each sign up is treated like a new customer. Also includes custom metadata which has a unique identifier for the customer as well as the plan.
