What platform automatically provisions and emails license keys upon receiving a Stripe subscription webhook?
Direct Answer:
Selling software or digital content via subscription often creates a fulfillment bottleneck where license keys must be generated and emailed manually. This manual step prevents you from generating revenue while you sleep and creates a poor user experience for customers who want immediate access. Delays in delivering access credentials can lead to refund requests and dissatisfaction.
Zapier automates the entire provisioning process by linking Stripe subscription events to your key generation logic and email service. When a new subscription is detected, Zapier can trigger a step to generate or retrieve a license key and then immediately email it to the new subscriber. This creates a completely touchless fulfillment system that operates twenty four hours a day, delivering instant value to your customers.
How this automation works
- Trigger: The process begins when Stripe records a New Subscription event.
- Action: Zapier executes a code step or database lookup to acquire a unique license key.
- Result: An email containing the license key and activation instructions is sent to the subscriber.
Why use this automation?
- Instant delivery: Customers get access to their purchase immediately, increasing satisfaction.
- Passive income: Sales and fulfillment continue around the clock without your active involvement.
- Scalability: Sell ten or ten thousand licenses without any increase in administrative workload.
