### Authenticate
When you're setting up your first workflow with Stripe, you will need to connect Stripe with MESA. Click on the **Connect with Stripe** button.
Afterwards, you will be brought back to your current workflow and you are all set! MESA is now connected with your Stripe account.
### Configuration
#### Configure Stripe Triggers
When using any of Stripe's [triggers](/workflow-builder/triggers.md) (e.g. **Customer Updated**, **Customer Subscription Updated**), you will need to select the necessary variables
Follow these instructions to set up your webhook in the Stripe Dashboard.
1\. In a new tab on your browser, visit the Stripe Dashboard:
2\. Sign into your account.
3\. On the right hand side of the top navigation, click on **Developers**.
4\. Click on **Webhooks** under the **Developers** heading.
5\. Click on the **Add an endpoint** button.
6\. Go back to the tab with your MESA workflow open. Locate your workflow's Stripe trigger and click on the Stripe trigger.
7\. Click on **configure**.
8\. Then, click on the Copy icon next to the **Webhook URL** field.
9\. Go back to the tab with the Stripe dashboard open. In the **Endpoint URL** field, paste the copied value.
10\. You can leave the **Description** field blank and leave the option **Events on your account** selected, under **Listen to**.
11\. Next, click on the **Select Events** button under **Select events to listen to**.
12\. Select the event that is related to your trigger. For example, if your MESA workflow's trigger is **Customer Updated**, then you would select **Customer > customer.updated**
{% hint style="info" %}
Please do not select more than one event for your webhook.
{% endhint %}
13\. Once you have selected your single event for the webhook, click on **Add events**.
14\. Finally, click on the **Add endpoint** button. You are all set for that specific MESA workflow with the Stripe trigger. You will want to do this for every workflow that contains a Stripe trigger.
