Updating custom customer attributes automatically

[waxart]

Hello, we are wanting to offer subscriptions for services and packages for services as well. We need to be able to track how many times a customer has used the subscription or package service. For example if we offer a monthly subscription to 1 service per month we need to know that the customer has or has not used this service this month. My thought process was to add custom attributes to a customers profile showing what package or service they are signed up for. At each appointment it will check to see if customer has an available service and if so blank out the total and remove one from the pool until next month.

Is there a way to automate or perform workflows inside of Square? A way to automatically update custom fields after checkout?

Heya @waxart 👋
 

Thank you for writing in with this question! 

After further research, it looks like we don't have a way to automate workflows, such as attaching an attribute once a payment has been made. I've reached out to some other team members here at Square to see if they're aware of a workaround for your use case. I'll be sure to check back in once I get a second opinion. 

In the meantime, you might want to check out some third-party services such as IFTTT, which can automate certain workflows.

Just checking back in here, @waxart - unfortunately, it doesn't look like there is another workaround for automating attributes from subscriptions via checkout links. This is something you can submit as a feature request here.
