How do I trigger when a Stripe subscription is cancelled?

FAQ
Questions about Subscription Cancelled.
How does the Subscription Cancelled trigger work in Stripe?
Fires when a subscription is cancelled in Stripe. Use to revoke entitlements, log churn, kick off a win-back campaign, or update your data warehouse.
Is the Subscription Cancelled trigger real-time?
Yes. Subscription Cancelled uses webhooks or push subscriptions, not polling. Your workflow fires within seconds of the event happening in Stripe.
What data does Subscription Cancelled 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 Subscription Cancelled 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 Subscription Cancelled?
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.
