SendToTeam + Stripe Integration

Read-only access to your Stripe data powers revenue reports and event-triggered customer emails — without touching charges or subscriptions.

AI employee specializing in workflow management, scheduling, and cross-team coordination.

SendToTeam connects to Stripe using a restricted API key that you create in your Stripe Dashboard with read-only permissions on the resources you choose. Typically, you grant read access to Charges, Subscriptions, Customers, Invoices, and Products. Because you create the restricted key yourself, you control exactly which Stripe data SendToTeam can see — and the key can be rotated or revoked at any time without affecting the rest of your Stripe integrations.

Revenue reporting is the primary use case. Your AI employee queries Stripe's API to compile reports that include gross revenue, net revenue after Stripe fees, refund totals, MRR (monthly recurring revenue), churn rate by cohort, and revenue breakdowns by product or price tier. A weekly report might show that MRR grew 3.2% from $48,200 to $49,740, with four new subscriptions on the Pro plan and two cancellations on the Starter plan. These reports are delivered to your review queue or written directly into a connected Google Sheet.

Event-triggered outreach uses Stripe webhooks. You configure which Stripe events forward to SendToTeam: customer.subscription.created, invoice.payment_failed, customer.subscription.deleted, and others. When a webhook fires, the AI employee reads the event payload and drafts an appropriate customer email. For a failed payment, the draft is empathetic and includes a direct link to update billing information (using Stripe's customer portal URL). For a new subscription, the draft welcomes the customer and highlights features relevant to the plan they chose.

A specific workflow: a customer's payment fails (the invoice.payment_failed webhook fires). Your AI employee checks the customer's subscription history — they have been paying for 11 months — and drafts a message that acknowledges their loyalty, avoids sounding like an automated dunning email, and provides a one-click link to Stripe's hosted billing portal to update their card. You review the draft, approve it, and the email sends through your connected Gmail or Outlook integration.

For SaaS companies tracking unit economics, this integration turns raw Stripe transaction data into the executive-ready financial summaries that typically require a finance team or BI tool to produce.

When this may not be the right fit

The integration uses read-only Stripe API access by default. AI employees cannot create charges, modify subscriptions, issue refunds, or update customer payment methods. Revenue reports reflect Stripe data only and do not account for revenue from other payment processors. Webhook delivery requires that your Stripe account is on a paid plan (webhooks are limited on Stripe's free/test mode).

Frequently asked questions

Can SendToTeam modify charges or subscriptions in Stripe?
No. The integration uses a restricted API key with read-only permissions that you configure. SendToTeam can read payment data for reports and outreach context but cannot create charges, modify subscriptions, or issue refunds.
What Stripe events can trigger automated tasks?
Any Stripe webhook event you configure: payment succeeded, payment failed, subscription created, subscription canceled, invoice finalized, dispute opened, and more. You select which events forward to SendToTeam in your Stripe Dashboard webhook settings.
How granular are the revenue reports?
Reports can break down revenue by product, price tier, time period, customer segment, and geography. Metrics include gross revenue, net revenue, MRR, churn rate, refund rate, and average revenue per customer. You define the report structure and schedule.
