How do I trigger when a new Stripe subscription starts?

Short answer: Drop the "Stripe → New Subscription" trigger on your workflow canvas, add filters if you want them, and publish. It fires within seconds of the event in Stripe, not on a polling schedule.

for the curious

You don’t need to read this. Tiny Command auto-maps every field into the visual picker so downstream nodes can pull values by clicking. We show it here for power users who want to know what’s on the wire.

FAQ

Questions about New Subscription.

How does the New Subscription trigger work in Stripe?

Fires when a new subscription is created in Stripe. Common use: provision the workspace, kick off onboarding, or mirror MRR into your finance dashboard.

Is the New Subscription trigger real-time?

Yes. New Subscription uses webhooks or push subscriptions, not polling. Your workflow fires within seconds of the event happening in Stripe.

What data does New Subscription return?

The full event payload from Stripe. 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 New Subscription 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 Stripe admin permissions to use New Subscription?

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