Call this tool
Connect a user's Stripe account once, then configure and run Create Invoice from your backend or agent.
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"
const pd = new PipedreamClient({
projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
projectEnvironment: "production",
})
const result = await pd.actions.run({
id: "stripe-create-invoice",
externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
configuredProps: {
stripe: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
autoAdvance: true,
automaticTaxEnabled: true,
},
})
console.log(result)curl -X POST https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/actions/run \
