What is your goal?I need an automation that will create an Authorization Hold on a customer’s payment card. This should be triggered from Google Calendar when the date of their event is 2 days away. Ideally this could be done using their prior payment method so as to not require input from the customer.
What is the problem & what have you tried?Cannot find the module to create an Authorization Hold.
Alternatively (and probably more ideally), this could be captured when they make their initial payment but the hold would have to begin 1-2 days before their event. For context, I have a wedding rental business and receive deposits months in advance. So the Authorization Hold could not start when the initial payment is made. It would need to be delayed until the actual event date and held as a “damages deposit”.
Hello,
You’ll need to use the Make an API call module and build a custom request – here’s the documentation for the method you’re looking for:
You’ll also need a database to link your event with the hold ID, so you can capture the correct transaction later.
Have a nice day,
Michal
