Expansion Revenue Detector
AI monitors Stripe payment patterns, scores expansion potential across 5 signal categories, and routes upsell and at-risk briefs to Pipedrive automatically.
AI monitors Stripe payment and subscription data, scores expansion potential across 5 signal categories, and routes upsell/at-risk briefs to Pipedrive automatically. 24-node swarm. $0.020/event — single LLM call.
Four Agents. Five Signals. Expansion Revenue Detected Automatically.
Step 1 — The Researcher
Code Only
Enriches invoice.paid webhook data with Stripe subscription, customer, and payment history. Computes MRR delta arithmetically — zero LLM cost.
Step 2 — The Analyst
Tier 1 Reasoning
Scores expansion potential across 5 signal categories: MRR Growth, Plan Ceiling, Payment Loyalty, Usage Plateau, Downgrade Risk. Single LLM call.
Step 3 — The Router
IF Logic
Routes based on confidence threshold. High confidence → Pipedrive Activity for immediate action. Low confidence → Note for human review. DOWNGRADE_RISK always creates an at-risk Activity.
Step 4 — The Syncer
CRM Write
Writes to Pipedrive: creates Person (if new), creates or updates Deal, adds Activity (upsell/at-risk) or Note (retention/monitor). Non-blocking — pipeline never stalls on CRM errors.
What It Does NOT Do
Does not connect to your billing system beyond Stripe — no Chargebee, Recurly, or custom billing integration
Does not predict future churn — it scores current expansion signals from payment patterns, not predictive modeling
Does not modify Stripe subscriptions — it reads payment data and writes intelligence to Pipedrive only
Does not replace your CS platform — it detects expansion opportunities and routes briefs for human follow-up

Frequently Asked Questions
What Stripe events does this workflow process?+
It triggers on invoice.paid events via Stripe webhook. Every successful payment fires the pipeline — subscription renewals, upgrades, downgrades, and one-time charges are all analyzed.
What are the 5 signal categories?+
MRR Growth (revenue increasing), Plan Ceiling (approaching plan limits), Payment Loyalty (consistent long-term payer), Usage Plateau (flat or declining engagement), and Downgrade Risk (signals of potential churn or downgrade).
How does the confidence-gated routing work?+
The Analyst outputs a confidence score (0-1). High confidence signals get a Pipedrive Activity for immediate action. Low confidence signals get a Note for human review. DOWNGRADE_RISK always creates an at-risk Activity regardless of confidence — asymmetric risk logic.
Why is the Researcher code-only with no LLM call?+
MRR delta, payment history, and subscription metadata are numerical/structured data. The Researcher computes these arithmetically using n8n Code nodes — no reasoning needed, so zero LLM cost on data enrichment.
How much does each event cost to process?+
ITP-measured: $0.020 per event blended average. Only one LLM call (the Analyst) per event. Invalid or rejected webhooks cost $0.000. This is the cheapest product in the ForgeWorkflows lineup.
What gets written to Pipedrive?+
Person (created if new), Deal (created or updated with expansion score), Activity (for high-confidence upsell or any DOWNGRADE_RISK), and Note (for low-confidence signals requiring human review).
What happens if Pipedrive is temporarily unavailable?+
The Syncer uses non-blocking writes. CRM errors are caught and logged to the Dead Letter node. The pipeline never stalls — webhook response is always returned.
Do I need to modify my Stripe setup?+
You need to add a webhook endpoint pointing to your n8n instance and enable the invoice.paid event. The README includes step-by-step Stripe webhook configuration.
Can I customize the signal thresholds?+
Yes. The Analyst system prompt includes the scoring rubric for all 5 signals. You can adjust confidence thresholds and scoring criteria to match your business model.
What n8n version is required?+
Tested on n8n self-hosted. The workflow uses standard HTTP Request, Code, and IF nodes — no community nodes required.
