Create a New Customer in Chargebee

This n8n workflow provides a basic starting point for creating a new customer within Chargebee. It's designed to be easily expandable, allowing you to integrate it with various triggers and data sources to automate customer onboarding processes.

What it does

This workflow currently consists of two nodes, setting the stage for a customer creation process:

1. Start: This node acts as the entry point for the workflow. In a real-world scenario, it would typically be replaced or followed by a trigger node (e.g., a webhook, a scheduled cron job, or a different application's trigger) that provides the data needed to create a new customer.
2. Chargebee: This node is pre-configured to interact with the Chargebee API. While it doesn't have a specific operation selected in this starter template, it's intended to be configured for the "Create Customer" operation, using data passed from previous nodes to populate the customer's details.

Prerequisites/Requirements

To use and expand this workflow, you will need:

• n8n Instance: A running instance of n8n.
• Chargebee Account: An active Chargebee account.
• Chargebee API Key: You will need to set up a Chargebee credential in n8n with your API key to authenticate requests to Chargebee.

Setup/Usage

1. Import the Workflow:
   • Copy the provided JSON code.
   • In your n8n instance, go to "Workflows" and click "New".
   • Click the "Import from JSON" button (usually found in the top right or within the workflow options).
   • Paste the JSON code and click "Import".
2. Configure Chargebee Credentials:
   • Click on the "Chargebee" node.
   • In the node's settings panel, locate the "Credential" field.
   • Select an existing Chargebee credential or click "Create New" to add your Chargebee API key.
3. Define the Trigger (Optional but Recommended):
   • The "Start" node is a placeholder. For a functional workflow, you'll want to replace it or add a node before the "Chargebee" node that triggers the workflow and provides customer data. Examples include:
     • Webhook Trigger: To receive data from a form submission or another application.
     • HTTP Request: To pull data from an external API.
     • Google Sheets: To read new customer data from a spreadsheet.
     • CRM Integration: To react to new lead creation in a CRM.
4. Configure the Chargebee Node:
   • Once you have a data source, click on the "Chargebee" node.
   • Select the "Customer" resource and the "Create" operation.
   • Map the incoming data from your trigger node to the relevant fields for creating a customer (e.g., email, first_name, last_name, id).
5. Activate the Workflow:
   • Once configured, save the workflow and activate it by toggling the "Active" switch in the top right corner.
