You need to reconfigure this integration if you're migrating your Chargebee site from Product Catalog 1.0 to Product Catalog 2.0.
Let us now see how to configure a Zap. We are going to create a row in Google Sheets whenever a new invoice is created in Chargebee. Here's how you will go about it:
Step 1: Log into your Zapier account.
Step 2: Click Make a Zap. Select Chargebee under Trigger app and select "New Invoice" as the trigger.
You can also choose Chargebee under Action. If you want to synchronize data from a third-party app into Chargebee. Please refer to the supported Actions and Triggers section to know more.
Step 3: Add your Chargebee account to Zapier to connect with services available through Zapier. Click "Connect an Account".
The next time you create a Zap using Chargebee, you can use the same account again without needing to reconnect.
Step 4: Provide your Chargebee site name. This is also the subdomain where you login to Chargebee.
Step 5: Provide your Chargebee site's API key. You can get to your API keys in Chargebee under Settings > Configure Chargebee > API Keys. Read more about API keys.
You can create a separate API key just for "Triggers" with Read Transactional Data permissions and another just for "Actions" or both with Full Access Permissions.
Step 6: Copy paste it in the "API key" in the API field in Zapier and click "Continue". Zapier will validate the information and connect to your Chargebee account.
Step 7: Similarly, connect your Google Sheets account as well and add filters if required.
Step 8: Test the Zap and when you're ready turn it on!
