Stripe Webhook Notifications

Use Stripe webhooks to trigger DeskThang notifications

from flask import Flask, request, jsonify
import stripe
import subprocess

app = Flask(__name__)

# Set your Stripe API key
stripe.api_key = "your_stripe_api_key"

# Set your webhook secret
webhook_secret = "your_webhook_secret"

def run_deskthang_command(command):
    subprocess.run(["deskthang"] + command.split())

@app.route('/webhook', methods=['POST'])
def webhook():
    payload = request.data
    sig_header = request.headers.get('Stripe-Signature')

    try:
        event = stripe.Webhook.construct_event(
            payload, sig_header, webhook_secret
        )
    except ValueError as e:
        return 'Invalid payload', 400
    except stripe.error.SignatureVerificationError as e:
        return 'Invalid signature', 400

    if event['type'] == 'payment_intent.succeeded':
        payment_intent = event['data']['object']
        amount = payment_intent['amount'] / 100  # Convert cents to dollars
        
        # Set DeskThang LED to green
        run_deskthang_command("led 00ff00")
        
        # Display notification on DeskThang
        run_deskthang_command("notify 'New payment: $" + str(amount) + "'")
        
        # Optional: Pulse the LED
        run_deskthang_command("pulse 3")

    elif event['type'] == 'payment_intent.payment_failed':
        # Set DeskThang LED to red
        run_deskthang_command("led ff0000")
        
        # Display notification on DeskThang
        run_deskthang_command("notify 'Payment failed'")

    return jsonify(success=True)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(port=5000)
