How do I trigger when a Stripe charge dispute is created?

Short answer: Drop the "StripeNew Dispute" trigger on your workflow canvas, add filters if you want them, and publish. It fires within seconds of the event in Stripe, not on a polling schedule.

for the curious

You don’t need to read this. Tiny Command auto-maps every field into the visual picker so downstream nodes can pull values by clicking. We show it here for power users who want to know what’s on the wire.

FAQ

Questions about New Dispute.

How does the New Dispute trigger work in Stripe?
Fires when a charge dispute is created in Stripe (chargeback). Critical: route to ops immediately so you can gather evidence before the response window closes.
Is the New Dispute trigger real-time?
Yes. New Dispute uses webhooks or push subscriptions, not polling. Your workflow fires within seconds of the event happening in Stripe.
What data does New Dispute return?
The full event payload from Stripe. The output shape table on this page lists every field, its type, and an example value so you can map fields into downstream nodes.
Can I filter New Dispute so only some events start a workflow?
Yes. Add a Filter node right after the trigger and match on any field, whether that's subject, sender, status, or anything else in the payload. Workflows only continue when the filter passes.
Do I need Stripe admin permissions to use New Dispute?
For most Stripe accounts a standard user can authorize the trigger. Some Stripe plans require an admin to enable third-party webhooks. Check Stripe's docs if the trigger fails to register.
