New Subscription trigger firing even after failed payment

I have a bug in one of my Zaps. I’m using a trigger of a New Subscription in Stripe to send a welcome email. It was all working fine until someone subscribed, but their payment failed and yet they still received the welcome email.

What do I need to do fix this so that the original trigger doesn’t fire if the payment fails?

Do I need to add a filter step? If so, which one?

Yeah, that worked. I had to add a filter to pull out the specific purchase, but it definitely fixed things. Thanks Troy (and Sam)!

Hi @garethjames 

Try using this Zap trigger: Stripe - Checkout Session Completed

Try adding a Filter as Zap step 2 to check the checkout was related to a subscription: https://zapier.com/apps/filter/help

There should be a data point returned from Stripe Zap step 1 that indicates the status of the subscription.

 

NOTE: A new subscription in Stripe is different from the payment related to the new subscription.
