Before you publish

After publishing, add a webhook endpoint with its address in Stripe and paste the endpoint’s signing secret into Whenever. Connect Gmail and Slack and choose the destination channel.

Connect the accounts and credentials it needs first. Optional AI steps use AI at runtime and their output can vary, so review the workflow and test it before publishing.
