Stripe → Pipedrive: Auto create contacts and deals from payments

Stripe → Pipedrive (Automatic Person + Deal Creation)

Prerequisites / Requirements

• n8n instance (cloud or self-hosted) with HTTPS reachable webhook endpoint
• Stripe account and secret API key
• Pipedrive account with API access and custom fields defined
• Users should create custom fields in Pipedrive and copy their field IDs (e.g. amount, payment method, status, Stripe Event ID)

How it works (Step-by-Step)

Stripe Webhook: n8n triggers on payment events from Stripe via an HTTP POST.

Edit / Set node: Extracts eventId, eventType, and payload.

HTTP Request: Confirms Stripe event via Stripe API (adds security).

Search Person: Looks up Pipedrive contact by email from the Stripe payload.

IF: Checks whether the person exists. - If exists → skip to deal creation. - If node - Check if Event id is not the same - If same - Skip the deal creation - If different - Create a deal linked to that person with the payment amount - If not → create new Person.

Create Person: Adds new Pipedrive contact, populates custom fields (amount, payment method, status, source).

Create Deal: Creates a deal linked to that person with the payment amount.

Description

**This workflow connects Stripe to Pipedrive. Whenever a new payment (or checkout success) occurs in Stripe, this automation will:

• Fetch the full Stripe event data
• Find or create a customer (“Person”) in Pipedrive
• Create a “Deal” record corresponding to that payment
• Log custom fields like amount, source, payment method, status

It’s ideal for

• SaaS
• Subscription businesses
• Agencies, or
• Teams who want payments mirrored inside their CRM without manual work.

Modification Notes / Extensions

You can extend this workflow by:

• Adding Slack or Gmail notifications after deal creation.
• Logging every event in Google Sheets or Notion for audit.
• Enriching the customer using OpenAI / CRM data.
• Handling refunds, subscription cancellations, etc.
