How do I create a Stripe Payment Intent?

Short answer: You can create payment intent in Stripe by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Stripe Create Payment Intent action to a workflow, map its 4 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.
