Trouble Finding Charges on Stripe to filter through on Zapier
I'm attempting to locate completed checkout sessions on Stripe and sift through the data to categorize customers for a specific email sequence. However, I'm encountering difficulty as I'm unable to locate the Stripe Charge ID on Zapier. Despite Stripe providing all the necessary data, it seems inaccessible through Zapier. Why could this be occurring, and what steps can I take to access the required data on Zapier?
As seen a lot of the items show “no data”. The account shows the general data but has not been updated to include any checkout sessions that have been completed.

@Alexandra R.
The data from most Zap trigger step apps won’t be created by a Zap.
An advanced approach would be to try using Webhooks in Stripe. (Developers section in Stripe)
So I can just attempt the last thing you suggested? Could there be another reason why I am not seeing the data I need?
@Alexandra R.
It may be related to how things on configured in Stripe.
It may be related to how you are testing, meaning making a real purchases as a end user would via Stripe.
it may be related to the Zap trigger example you are using.
I saw that they had a similar issue to me should I attempt what they did?
I attempted and am still encountering the same issue. The trigger still does not have the customer data despite being turned on.
@Alexandra R.
This was a previous suggestion:
OR try turning the Zap ON, then testing live.
You can check the Zap Runs history details to see the DATA IN/OUT for each Zap step to help you troubleshoot: https://zapier.com/app/history/
So now moving on do I have to use webhooks and make it live so that I could troubleshoot and get the data I need?
@Alexandra R.
Stripe Webhooks is an option to explore.
Ultimately testing live will tell if it’s working as expected.
How do I make sure I am testing live? It was on when I tested the trigger but when I moved to the next filter it would not turn on. I also do not see any data displayed. Could you walk me through the process, please?
@Alexandra R.
Test live means to test with the Zap turned ON and perform the event that would trigger the Zap.
I have done this and no new data is showing up. Payment intent shows up as no data.
I was able to find the information needed for a payment transaction using its payment ID. Is there a way where I don’t have to put the specific payment ID but instead acquire the data from somewhere else that includes all the payment IDs from the payment link? If I continue doing it the way I have it set up I would have to input each payment ID which would defeat the purpose of automating the process.
@Alexandra R.
You can map dynamic variables between Zap steps using the ‘CUSTOM’ tab.
