Hi 👋
The error is correct. You cannot modify Subscriptions your Platform did not create
azure laurel
The error is quite clear, I just need to be pointed in the right direction here
Because my first instinct would be to ask the customer for their API key to do this
but might be not the best in terms of security
also one thing is not clear is that I'm indeed able to perform some update using the dashboard (while accessing the connected account from the platform)
forest steppe
Nope definitely not
Basically, those Subscriptions existed before your connection to this account so they cannot be modified to send money to you
If you want to add an application fee you need to create new Subscriptions
azure laurel
Ok, this is only because i'm attempting to add an application fee?
I'm trying to do this because in my webhook code I have this line:
if (subscription.application === null) {
this.logger.log('Skip! This event has not been triggered by our integration');
return;
}
This is exactly to prevent a mixup of subscriptions created independently by the connected account from the ones created by our integration
but in this case, what I'm trying to accomplish is to recreate in my DB all the existing subscriptions that a customer already has before being connected to us
another idea I have is to simply add a metadata to the subscription with a simple flag migrated: true
forest steppe
Okay and have you tried making that API request?
azure laurel
i'm doing it rn
amazing, that goes through
but this means that since now the account is connected, I'll be receiving all the subsequent updates as well?
as in each new customer.subscription.updated will now populate application?
forest steppe
That should not be the case as far as I know. Can you share the subscription ID and I can check.

I've done a couple of tests and it seems that if I trigger an update from the connected account dashboard (not using the "view as" dashboard, but directly) the application is not null

👋 hopping in here since snufkin has to head out soon
azure laurel
it costs me nothing anyway to also check for that metadata i've just added to be extra safe
west haven
Just to confirm - you're asking whether application will continue to be set on that Subscription, right?
azure laurel
exactly

after i've done an update using my integration and added a metadata to it
west haven
Yeah, that should continue to be set
