FAQ

Questions about Payment Succeeded.

How does the Payment Succeeded trigger work in Chargebee?

Fires when a payment is successfully captured against an invoice. Payload includes amount, currency, payment method, customer, the cleared invoice. The standard revenue-tracking hook for accounting sync and customer-success "they paid" workflows.

Is the Payment Succeeded trigger real-time?

Yes. Payment Succeeded uses webhooks or push subscriptions, not polling. Your workflow fires within seconds of the event happening in Chargebee.

What data does Payment Succeeded return?

The full event payload from Chargebee. The output shape table on this page lists every field, its type, and an example value so you can map fields into downstream nodes.

Can I filter Payment Succeeded so only some events start a workflow?

Yes. Add a Filter node right after the trigger and match on any field, whether that's subject, sender, status, or anything else in the payload. Workflows only continue when the filter passes.

Do I need Chargebee admin permissions to use Payment Succeeded?

For most Chargebee accounts a standard user can authorize the trigger. Some Chargebee plans require an admin to enable third-party webhooks. Check Chargebee's docs if the trigger fails to register.
