1. Automated Customer Tracking

• Benefits: Saves time and enables quicker response to customer changes, improving retention efforts.

2. New Product Launch Alerts

3. Subscription Status Management

Objective: Automate updates when subscription status changes to streamline support processes.

Workflow:

• Outcome: Creates a support ticket automatically in a helpdesk system when a subscription is canceled or downgraded.
• Benefits: Ensures no cancellation is missed, leading to better customer support and opportunities for win-back strategies.

4. Automated Pricing Updates

Objective: Simplify price management by automating price updates across platforms.

Workflow:

• Trigger: Watch Products (triggers when a product’s status changes).
• Outcome: Automatically updates pricing in external systems (like a website or CRM) whenever a new price is created in Paddle.
• Benefits: Avoids manual entry errors, saving time and ensuring accurate pricing across all customer-facing platforms.

5. Transaction-Based Reporting

These automations not only save time but also enhance accuracy and responsiveness in your daily operations.
