Import Stripe Customers to Airtable
In this guide, you'll learn to import Stripe customers to Airtable with no-code. We'll use the Data Fetcher Airtable app to import the id, name, email & creation time for every customer in our Stripe account. Finally, we'll set this to run automatically, and import Stripe customers on a schedule.
Install Data Fetcher
Install Data Fetcher from the Airtable app marketplace. After the app launches, sign up for a free Data Fetcher account by entering a password and clicking 'Sign up for free'.
Import Stripe Customers to Airtable
On the home screen of the Data Fetcher app, click 'Create your first request'. Requests in Data Fetcher are how you import data to or send data from your Airtable base.
On the create request screen in Data Fetcher, for Application, select 'Stripe'.
Click 'New Stripe connection'. You will be taken to a new tab/window where you need to authorize Data Fetcher to read from your Stripe account. Select the Stripe account you want to import Stripe data from.
For Endpoint, select 'List all customers'.
Enter a Name for your request, e.g. 'Import Stripe Customers'. Then click 'Save & Continue'.
If you want to limit the customers imported to Airtable to only those with a particular email, you can set the Email option.
If you want to limit the customers imported to Airtable to only those created in a certain time period, you can set the Created option.
Click 'Run'.
The request will run and the Response field mapping modal will open. This is where you set how the fields from Stripe should map to fields in the output table. For each Stripe customer field, you can either import or filter it. For an imported field, you can set whether to map them to an existing field or create a new field.
Make sure you import the 'Id' field, as we will use this to ensure the customer records we have in Airtable are kept in sync with any changes in Stripe. Import any other fields you want. Then click 'Save & Run'.
Data Fetcher will create any fields that need to be created in the output table, then run the request and import the customers from Stripe to Airtable. Stripe has a limit of 100 customers per run, so Data Fetcher may need multiple runs in order to import all customers.
Finally, we want to ensure Data Fetcher can match up customers in Stripe with records in Airtable, even if we move those records around. To do this, click 'Advanced settings' to open the advanced output settings. Then for Update Based on Field, select 'Id'. Then click 'Save'
Note: Stripe uses Unix timestamp fields for date fields (e.g. 'Created') that have numeric values. You can convert them to date format by using a formula field with this formula:
DATEADD('1/1/1970',Created,'seconds')
Import Stripe Customers to Airtable Automatically
At the moment, we have to manually run the request to import the Stripe customers. We can use Data Fetcher's scheduled requests feature to automatically import them every 15 minutes/ hour/ day etc.
In Data Fetcher, scroll to Schedule and click 'Upgrade'.
A new tab will open where you can select a plan and enter your payment details to upgrade.
Return to the Data Fetcher app and click "I've done this".
Click 'Add API key' in order to add your Airtable API key. You can find your Airtable API key here.
Enter your Airtable API key and click 'Save'.
Enable Schedule this request.
Select how often you want the request to run, e.g. 'Every 15 mins'. Click 'Save' The request will now run on the schedule and import the Stripe customers automatically.
