Send onboarding email only after first payment (ghl tag issues)

Hi @Mshapiro 

Post screenshots showing how your Zap steps are outlined and configured so we have more context.

@Troy Tessalone, thank you for the reply. Here is a better detailed work line for my automation. I have not included the steps that don’t seem to be of importance to my issue. 

Step 2.

• Adds tag *initial payment* and puts in notes how much money was paid. I put this step in in order to be able to pull data for the filter
• Pull contact data from stripe email 

Step 3

• filter step that isnt working
• As you see, it says “Tags: (Missing sample)”

Step 4

• filter conditions for payments (works just fine)

Step 6

• This step adds the tag of “onboarded” which I filter for in the beginning

Hope this helps! Thank you

You probably want to use a different Zap trigger because the one being used fire when a payment link is created, not when a payment is made.

@Troy Tessalone ,

I was honestly thinking of switching to new customer. Have you had any negative experiences with that?

@Mshapiro 

Stripe New Customer does not necessarily mean a Payment was made by the Customer.

Try using one of these:

• Checkout Session Completed
• New Payment

You’ll have to keep a log of payments made by a Customer to check against in the Zap.

If no existing record is found, then you can assume it’s the first payment, and the Zap can pass a Filter step to continue.

@Troy Tessalone, ok thank you!

That’s great @Mshapiro! A huge thanks to Troy for pointing you in the right direction!
