Question

Create a filter based on a specific meta field from Stripe Event


artandsoul

I am trying to setup a filter on a stripe new subscription event.

Under Filter setup & testing, I am not seeing the field I need to test for.

I suspect not all transactions with have this meta field. 

How do I select the ‘only continue field’ if that meta field is not included in the sample data?

Thanks

Thank you. I appreciate the quick reply.

I see how to change the test data. 

I did create a new payment just as I would expect it from an actual client.

However, I cannot find that real transaction as an example in the Stripe test data.

My next step is to add the filter based on a specific field.

@artandsoul 

Which Stripe trigger event are you trying to use?

I’ve tried both, New Subscription and New Payment. 

I am not seeing the real payment I made in stripe via the website purchase.

I am lookin for meta data included in that payment. I see the payment in stripe and I see the field I am looking for in the filter.

But I am not seeing the payment test I made in the test data.

Did you try changing the trigger test data after you made a test payment/subscription?

Yes, I’ve tried several times to find that transaction.

The Zap trigger will only pull back the 3 most recent transactions.

So make sure to test and pull thru the data quickly.

My test transaction is the latest payment in Stripe.

Hi folks! 👋

Just wanted to hop in here to share the workaround @jcgu24 recently suggested:


It would involve switching the Zap to use the Checkout Session Completed (Stripe) trigger, then following that up with a Filter by Zapier action to filter them by a specific product ID or by description. Hope that helps! 🙂
