Automated PayPal Payment Processing and Customer Notification

This n8n workflow automates the process of handling PayPal payment notifications, extracting order details, generating personalized emails, and sending confirmation to customers. It starts with a webhook that receives PayPal webhook events specifically for completed payments. The workflow then filters for successful payment capture events and retrieves detailed order information from PayPal’s API using OAuth2 authentication. It captures customer details such as name, email, and purchased product, and then processes this data to create a JSON file, which is subsequently attached to an email. The email, styled in HTML, confirms the purchase, provides resources for further learning, and includes a link to download a related n8n template. The workflow also features sticky notes for documentation, guiding users through the setup and purpose of each step. This automation is ideal for eCommerce sites, digital product vendors, or online course creators who want to streamline order processing and customer communication.
