n8n Stripe Webhook Telegram Bot Access + Daily Reconciliation

Keep Telegram access in sync with Stripe—instantly and every morning

This n8n workflow listens to Stripe webhook events to grant or revoke Telegram access, then performs a daily reconciliation to correct any drift by checking each subscription’s live status in Stripe. If something doesn’t match what access was granted, it fixes the entitlement and posts a summary to Slack.

What this workflow does

• Handles Stripe webhooks for checkout completion, subscription updates, and subscription deletions.
• Ensures idempotency by checking a Data Table ledger to skip Stripe events already processed, and records new event IDs as they’re handled.
• Maps entitlements from Stripe metadata: extracts the Telegram user ID and subscription details from Stripe metadata, then maps the Stripe Price ID to a tier.
• Updates your access ledger: upserts each user’s entitlement (tier, active flag, and Stripe IDs) into a Data Table keyed by Telegram user ID.
• Runs daily reconciliation: scheduled execution reads all entitlement rows, fetches each subscription’s live status from the Stripe API, and detects mismatches using a configurable grace period for past-due statuses.
• Corrects drift automatically: updates entitlement rows to match Stripe and posts a corrections summary to a Slack channel.
• Protects Telegram content: when Telegram messages arrive, it checks the sender’s entitlement in the Data Table—either sends the protected message or replies with a Stripe Payment Link prompt.

Use cases

• Preventing “access drift” when subscriptions change but webhooks are delayed or missed.
• Automating subscription-based access to Telegram content for SaaS and digital products.
• Providing operational visibility by reporting reconciliation corrections in Slack.

Technical details

• Integrations/Nodes used: Stripe Trigger, if, set, code, Slack, filter, Telegram, plus HTTP calls for subscription lookup.
• Credentials required: add Stripe credentials for the Stripe Trigger and an HTTP Bearer Auth credential using your Stripe secret key for the subscription status lookup request.
