PayPal SMS Automation
Instantly confirm completed PayPal payments with an automatic SMS and receipt email. Give customers peace of mind and speed up your purchase confirmation.
Why This Workflow Matters
Fast, clear confirmation builds trust. This automation instantly notifies customers when their PayPal payment is completed, tags them for easy follow-up, and emails a receipt. It helps you deliver a smooth post-purchase experience and keeps your team focused on growth, not manual notifications.
How The Automation Works
- Trigger: PayPal payment completed webhook
- Entry Conditions: payment_status = completed
- Tags/Fields Created: tag: paypal_paid
- ActiveCampaign Steps: Send payment confirmation SMS -> receipt email
- SMS Sent (via D7): {'method': 'POST', 'url': 'https://api.d7networks.com/sms/send', 'body': "{ 'to':'{{phone}}','content':'Payment received. Receipt: {{receipt_link}}' }"}
- Exit Conditions: receipt viewed
- Goal: Purchase confirmation
