What does this automation do?
Your billing system posts every event to the flow URL, but only the failed payments get past the filter — and each one gets a real recovery task.
What can you do with it?
- Take billing events straight from your own system, without a connector
- Ignore everything except the failures worth acting on
- Get the customer emailed and the follow-up owned the same day
