Get your API keys from Stripe

If you don't already have a stripe account, you can create a test account at Stripe.com. You will need your Stripe test API keys, and secret key to create the API connector on Zenaton.

Ideas to improve the workflow:

This is a simple workflow to get you started with Zenaton but can be modified for more complicated logic.

• Send emails with customized messages based on the customer's information or behaviour. This data could be sent in the workflow input or you could add a step to the workflow to grab it from your database.
• If it is the first time the customer has been charged for a subscription, send a different email.
• If the amount paid by the user is more than X, then trigger a slack notification to a team member to follow up.
• Add A/B testing in the workflow and send a notification on slack only if there is a big gap in the metrics for opening / click rate
