Configuration
6 fields, 1 required. A dotted path is a nested object and name[] an array of objects — the editor renders the same tree.
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Constraints | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
customer_id The Chargebee customer id. | string | Yes | — | — | — |
amount How much to collect, in the currency's smallest unit (cents). Leave empty to collect everything the customer owes. | number | No | — | ≥ 1 | — |
payment_source_id The stored payment source to charge. Leave empty to use the customer's primary one. | string | No | — | ≤ 40 characters | — |
invoice_allocations Which invoices the payment settles, as a JSON array of {"invoice_id": "…", "allocation_amount": 1000} objects. | array | No | — | array of object | — |
extra Any other parameter documented for this endpoint, merged into the request body. Nested objects and arrays are form-encoded the way Chargebee documents them, e.g. {"billing_address": {"city": "Walnut"}}. | object | No | — | — | {"billing_address":{"city":"Walnut"}} |
idempotency_key A unique value sent as 'chargebee-idempotency-key' so a retry inside Chargebee's 30-minute window replays the first response instead of charging or creating twice. | string | No | — | ≤ 100 characters | — |
Example configuration
Every value below is the contract’s own example or default — nothing invented.
{
"extra": {
"billing_address": {
"city": "Walnut"
}
}
}Output
One shape.

See Collect Payment For Customer run in a workflow.
In a technical demo we add the Chargebee connection, drop the node on the canvas and let Workflow Health pre-flight it before the first real run.
