Send an email in SendGrid when a payment fails in Stripe
When a payment fails in Stripe, send an email in SendGrid.
Start the 14-day trial, then find it under Templates → Library. It installs into the client you choose, switched off, with its checklist.
Every step, in order
When it happens in the first app, the step runs in the second, with the client’s own account.
- A payment fails
- A Stripe invoice payment attempt declined, or no card on file, within seconds. Once per attempt: Smart Retries can fire it again for the same invoice. The restricted key needs Webhook Endpoints: write.
- Send an email
- Plain-text email from a verified sender.
- Starts whenA payment fails
- App stepSend an email
What each client fills in
- SendGrid: From address
- For example hello@northside.example
The accounts it needs
Each is the client’s own, stored encrypted and never copied between clients. Until one is added the client’s checklist shows it, and nothing runs.
In the client’s Stripe dashboard: Developers → API keys → Create restricted key. Give it only what the steps need: Customers write, Payment Links write, Prices read, Invoices write, and Webhook Endpoints write for the triggers. Leave “IP access” empty: Thrum has no fixed addresses, so a key locked to IPs fails every call.
SendGrid → Settings → API Keys → Create API Key with Mail Send access; for the triggers, also the Event Webhook settings permission (user.webhooks.event.settings.read and user.webhooks.event.settings.update), or Full Access. The From address must be a verified sender.
After you install it
It lands switched off. The client’s checklist holds exactly this:
- Connect the client’s Stripe, for “A payment fails”
- Connect the client’s SendGrid, for “Send an email”
- Fill in SendGrid: From address (For example hello@northside.example)
