Implementation
Implementation
- 1Define a flow with routing and retry rules.
- 2Trigger the flow from a payment or checkout event.
- 3Handle webhooks for success or failure states.
- 4Automate fulfillment or customer notifications.
API example
Create flow
const flow = await orangepill.flows.create({
name: "payment-routing",
triggers: ["payment.created"],
actions: ["route_payment", "notify_customer"]
})Production considerations
- Keep flows idempotent across retries.
- Separate routing logic from fulfillment logic.
- Use observability events for debugging.
- Test flows in sandbox before enabling.
