What This Workflow Does

This automation bridges your YooKassa payment gateway with Google Sheets, creating a seamless connection between payment processing and order management. Every time a customer makes a payment through YooKassa, the workflow automatically records the transaction details in your designated Google Sheet.

The system captures essential data like transaction ID, payment amount, customer email, product details, payment status, and timestamp. This eliminates the need for manual copy-pasting between systems, reduces human errors, and gives you real-time visibility into your payment statuses.

How It Works

1. Payment trigger from YooKassa

The workflow starts when YooKassa detects a new payment event. This could be a successful payment, failed transaction, or refund. The trigger captures the complete payment object with all relevant details.

2. Data transformation

The raw payment data is processed to extract only the fields you need for your records. This step formats dates, converts currencies, and structures the information to match your Google Sheets columns.

3. Google Sheets update

The formatted payment data is appended as a new row in your designated Google Sheet. The workflow checks for duplicates to prevent multiple entries of the same transaction.

Pro tip: Add conditional formatting in Google Sheets to color-code rows based on payment status (green for successful, red for failed, yellow for pending).
