Paystack Payment Triggers for Automated Email and SMS
Turn a successful payment, a failed charge, or a new subscription in Paystack into an automatic email, SMS, or WhatsApp message, no developer needed to wire it up.
Three payment triggers, every channel, no developer — connect Paystack once and automate every payment event after.
Three real triggers, not a generic webhook to configure yourself
Connecting Paystack to CircleHQ gives you three specific triggers: a successful payment, a failed charge, and a new subscription. Each one can start its own automated workflow, a receipt and onboarding sequence for a successful payment, a dunning message for a failed charge, a welcome series for a new subscription, without a developer writing custom webhook-handling code first. The trigger fires the moment Paystack reports the event, so the follow-up message goes out in minutes rather than whenever someone remembers to check the transaction log by hand.
Turn a receipt into the start of a relationship
A payment confirmation email is often the highest-open-rate message a business sends, and most companies waste it on a bare transaction receipt. Circle AI can draft a receipt sequence that includes the transaction details a customer expects plus a next step, a product tip, an invite to a community, an upsell, sent automatically the moment Paystack confirms the payment. That turns a routine confirmation into the start of a longer relationship instead of a message read once and forgotten.
Recover revenue from failed charges automatically
A failed charge in Paystack, an expired card, insufficient funds, does not have to mean a lost customer. CircleHQ can trigger an automatic follow-up by email, SMS, or WhatsApp asking the customer to update their payment method, sent within minutes of the failure instead of whenever someone notices the transaction log. For a subscription business, that single automated nudge is often the difference between recovered revenue and a quiet churn nobody flagged until the monthly numbers came in short.
One integration, every channel
Once Paystack is connected, the triggers work across email, SMS, and WhatsApp from the same automation builder used for any other campaign. A failed-charge nudge can go out by SMS for urgency and a receipt sequence by email for detail, without switching tools or exporting a list between them. A Nigerian business selling through Paystack does not need a separate app just to handle payment-driven messaging.
Built for how Nigerian businesses actually get paid
Paystack is one of the payment processors Nigerian and African businesses actually use, not an afterthought bolted onto a platform built around a different region's payment rails. Pairing Paystack triggers with Naira billing on CircleHQ itself means the whole stack, from getting paid to following up with the customer, stays in the currency and payment system a Nigerian business already runs on, instead of translating between a foreign-first tool and a Nigerian bank account at every step.
Everything a Nigerian business needs to automate messaging from its payment processor.
Three real payment triggers
Successful payment, failed charge, and new subscription each start their own workflow the moment Paystack reports the event.
Receipt-to-relationship sequences
Circle AI drafts a receipt plus a next step automatically — turn the highest-open-rate message you send into an onboarding sequence.
Automatic dunning
Failed charges trigger an SMS or email within minutes — recover subscription revenue before a customer quietly churns.
Email, SMS & WhatsApp
One Paystack connection, every channel — no separate tool for payment-driven messaging.
