This guide will help you understand how you can use Raven to send Razorpay’s payment related notifications with your own custom content, your own branding or your own providers.

For example, you can send Invoices to your customers, on SMS and Email with your own custom message and with your sender-id or email. You can also choose to send Invoices on WhatsApp. If you have your own SMS, WhatsApp or Email providers, you can easily use them too to send your notifications.

We recommend going through the Quick Setup in the Get Started tab. It will help you understand how Raven works in less than 5 mins.

How will Raven send notifications from Razorpay?

Once you setup the Razorpay extension, Raven will start intercepting events from your Razorpay account. For example, whenever you create an invoice in Razorpay, Raven will receive that event and trigger the notification that you configured.

Razorpay Setup

3. Edit & Preview Notifications

Edit the notifications that you selected in the first step. You can

  • Edit which channels you want to send that notification on (like SMS, Email or WhatsApp).
  • Add your own integrations or contact us if you need help in setting them up.
  • Edit the SMS and Email content of the notifications. We have an email designer where you can design your email notifications with your branding.

If you are on the default app that was created when you signed-up, you would also be seeing default Raven SMS and Email integrations selected for the SMS and Email channels. To edit the default Raven SMS/Email integrations, you can go to Integrations > Live Integrations and click on the Raven integration to edit its details like From Name in email etc.

Edit/Preview these notifications

While editing the templates, you would see some content like this {{short_url}} . This is a dynamic parameter and will get replaced by its actual value based on the value sent by Razorpay. We currently support the following dynamic parameters -

ParameterDescription

{{logo_url}}
Invoice/Payment link Created: {{amount}}
Invoice/Payment link Reference Id: {{reference_id}}

  1. Authorize

As a last step, you need to provide Raven the access to your Razorpay account. Raven requires this access to capture events from your Razorpay account and send the notifications. You will be redirected to Razorpay where you need to authorize Raven. Once done the setup will be complete.

Authorizing Raven to access your Razorpay account

All done! You will see all the live notifications when you click the Razorpay extension in Settings tab. You can enable or disable a notification if you want to halt it temporarily.
