Hi there
spring matrix
Hi. I am currently trying to find a webhook event that will allow me to update the record in my DB to update the subscription ID. In my DB, I have a subscriptionId saved but there are times where this may be populated with the sub schedule ID (if I manually create a subscription on stripe that starts in the future, I get given the subscription schedule ID). My goal is, when this sub schedule starts, I want to update the subscriptionId saved in my DB which is currently the sub schedule ID to be the actual subscription ID
Unless there's a way to get the subscription Id from the get go for the subscription schedule? Is that possible?
There doesn't seem to be a subscription_schedule.started or an equivalent

Ah gotcha
You're right, there's no Subscription ID when you create a Schedule to start a Subscription in the future
You can still listen for customer.subscription.created then retrieve the Subscription and expand schedule: https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/object#subscription_object-schedule
If there's a value for Schedule that matches the value in your DB, you can then replace the DB value with the ID of the newly-created Subscription
spring matrix
Yeah, that seems like the closest thing I can use. While I have you, I don't really want the hook to be firing all the time if a customer subscription is created, is there a way to kind of limit this to my specific scenario? Or would I just have to rely on whether schedule is set and if anything matches that in my db?
kind olive
Gotcha, no, there's no way to filter event sending on our end other than by event type
Which means you'll receive customer.subscription.created for every brand-new Subscription, regardless of whether or not it was created via a Schedule
spring matrix
Yeah, thought so. Well, I guess I'd only really be querying my DB if schedule is set and that's only set if a subscription was created via a subscription schedule right? So if I was to create a subscription that's on going right now, that schedule property would be blank. Is that right?
kind olive
Correct, it would be null if you're calling the Subscriptions endpoint directly to create a Subscription
spring matrix
Great. I think I can work with this. Appreciate the help and sanity checks 🙂

Sure thing!
