Problem Solved

This workflow automates the process of handling PayPal payment notifications. It ensures that:

• Businesses receive timely updates on payment statuses, specifically when a payment is completed.
• Customers are notified immediately after their purchase, enhancing their experience and reducing inquiries related to order status.
• The workflow generates a downloadable file with relevant purchase details, making it easier for businesses to manage their orders.

Workflow Steps

1. Webhook Trigger: The workflow starts when a POST request is received at the specified PayPal webhook URL, indicating a payment event.
2. Event Capture Type: The workflow checks if the event type is PAYMENT.CAPTURE.COMPLETED to proceed with further processing.
3. Get Order Details: It retrieves the order details from PayPal using the order ID provided in the webhook data.
4. Email Data Preparation: The workflow extracts customer information such as first name, last name, email, and product purchased from the PayPal response.
5. Wait Node: A wait node is used to ensure that the payment transaction is fully processed before sending notifications.
6. Product Filtering: The workflow checks if the purchased product matches specific criteria to trigger additional actions.
7. JSON Template Retrieval: It fetches a JSON template that may contain additional information or resources related to the purchase.
8. Convert to File: The workflow converts the JSON data into a downloadable file format (JSON) and prepares it for email attachment.
9. Send Email: Finally, an email is sent to the customer with a thank-you message and the attached JSON file, including links to additional resources.
