You should receive the customer.subscription.updated event
The latter event is only triggered when you make updates to the Schedule. But the schedule itself is making automated upated to the Subscription and that triggers customer.subscription.updated

Also when I receive the event, it starts, I should look for subscription event status of 'active"?
clever leaf
The Event object (https://stripe.com/docs/api/events/object) will include a data.object property that will have the Subscription as a value. You can check the status there. It should be active as long as the first Invoice is paid.

What do you mean by first invoice is paid because I want to execute code immediately when the subscription starts?
clever leaf
Well, let's step back. You have a Subscripition created that starts in the future. Do you have a payment method collected at that time?
safe stump
Yes, i collect payment method at that time
clever leaf
Okay so when the Subscription starts it should attempt to collect the funds for the first invoice payment.
safe stump
Also my first week has coupon of 100% off applied every time, does that make any difference?
clever leaf
Are you billing weekly?
safe stump
Yes

Then you will generate $0 invoices that will automatically be marked as paid and the Subscription will have a status='active'
But... this does sound like a kind of complex billing integration. I would strongly recommend you use our Test Clocks helper to perform end-to-end simulations of this behavior to ensure it does what you expect.

It's a useful tool since it allows you to write complete end-to-end test scripts and validate that your subscriptions, invoices, and webhooks all behave like you expect.
