Chargebee n8n Automation Workflows
Ready-made n8n workflows to connect Chargebee with your stack—sync customers, route subscription events, update CRM, send invoices, and alert your team automatically.
These Chargebee workflows are for finance ops, revops, founders, and support teams who don’t want billing data trapped in one dashboard. Stop chasing invoice statuses, renewal dates, and failed payments by hand. Trigger updates from subscription events, keep your CRM clean, notify the right channel, and push clean rows to reporting tools. You’ll ship faster, reduce missed follow-ups, and get clearer revenue visibility without building everything from scratch.
📊 About Chargebee
Chargebee is a subscription billing and revenue management platform used to run recurring revenue businesses. It helps you handle plans, coupons, invoicing, taxes, proration, and dunning, while tracking customers, subscriptions, and payment states in one place. For automation, Chargebee is most useful because key moments (trial started, invoice paid, payment failed, subscription changed) can trigger workflows that keep your CRM, reporting, and customer comms aligned—without manual exports.
How do I connect Chargebee to n8n?
In n8n, add a Chargebee node (or use HTTP/Webhook nodes if your workflow uses webhooks). Create or select Chargebee API credentials in n8n, then paste your site name and API key from Chargebee’s settings. Test with a simple step like “Get Customer” to confirm access. If you want real-time automation, set up a Chargebee webhook to your n8n Webhook URL and map the event payload to your next steps. Honestly, start small and expand.
What can I automate with Chargebee?
A lot—especially around subscription events and finance handoffs. Common automations include: creating CRM deals when a subscription starts, updating lifecycle fields when a trial converts, posting failed payment alerts to Slack, emailing invoices or receipts, and pushing daily MRR snapshots into Google Sheets. You can also route cancellation reasons to a feedback tool, open support tickets for billing issues, or enrich accounts with OpenAI summaries for your CS team. The goal is fewer manual checks and faster follow-up.
Do I need a Chargebee account?
Yes. You’ll need access to a Chargebee site to generate API keys or configure webhooks, even if you’re only testing a workflow.
What are common Chargebee automation limitations or gotchas?
The biggest gotcha is data consistency. Subscription changes can fire multiple events, and if you update your CRM on every event, you may overwrite good data with stale fields. Webhook retries can also create duplicates unless your workflow uses idempotency checks (for example, store the invoice ID in a table and skip repeats). Finally, permissions matter: some API keys can’t access certain resources. Build with a clear “source of truth” and add simple logging so you can trace what happened.
