Payment-Based Triggers in Deposyt

Overview:  This section provides an overview of Payment-Based Triggers and their key functions.

Payment-Based Triggers are automation rules that help businesses respond automatically whenever a payment event occurs. With payment automation triggers, you can create workflows that send confirmations, recover failed payments, notify your team, and guide customers through the next steps. As a result, Deposyt helps you save time, improve customer communication, and automate your payment process.

What Are Payment-Based Triggers?

Payment-Based Triggers activate when a payment-related event happens inside Deposyt. Instead of responding manually, the system automatically performs the actions you define.

Common payment event triggers include:

• Invoice sent
• Invoice viewed
• Payment received
• Payment failed
• Subscription started
• Subscription renewed
• Subscription payment failed

Because every payment event starts an automation, your business stays organized and responsive.

Why Payment Automation Triggers Matter

Many businesses stop communicating after a payment is completed. However, every payment creates a new opportunity to engage the customer.

With payment automation triggers, you can:

• Start onboarding
• Send payment confirmations
• Follow up on unpaid invoices
• Recover failed payments
• Offer upgrades or additional services

Therefore, every payment becomes the beginning of the next customer interaction instead of the end of the process.

Common Payment Event Triggers

Different payment events can start different workflows.

Invoice Sent Trigger

This trigger activates immediately after an invoice is sent.

For example, you can:

• Notify the customer
• Create a follow-up task
• Schedule reminder emails

Invoice Viewed Trigger

This trigger starts when a customer opens an invoice.

As a result, you can automatically follow up before the customer leaves without paying.

Payment Received Trigger

This trigger activates after a successful payment.

Then you can automatically:

• Send a receipt
• Send a confirmation email
• Notify your team
• Update the CRM

Payment Failed Trigger

If a payment fails, Deposyt can immediately begin recovery actions.

For example:

• Send an SMS reminder
• Send an email notification
• Retry the payment
• Create a support task

Consequently, you reduce the risk of lost revenue.

Subscription Payment Triggers

Recurring billing events can also activate workflows.

These events include:

• Subscription started
• Subscription renewed
• Subscription payment failed

Because these workflows are automatic, recurring billing becomes easier to manage.

• Request customer reviews

Therefore, every payment creates another opportunity to increase customer value.
