How does Day.ai know what a customer actually paid?
It does not, unless you tell it. There is no Stripe integration, no QuickBooks, no billing sync. Closed won is a stage somebody moved; collected is a fact living in another system. Every CRM has this gap and this one has an unusual way round it.
What Day.ai holds about money
| Field | Where it comes from |
|---|---|
| Expected revenue on an opportunity | Typed or imported. A forecast, not a fact |
| Stage and close date | Whoever moved it |
| What was invoiced | Nowhere, by default |
| What was collected | Nowhere, by default |
Worth saying plainly because it catches people out at the first board meeting: opportunities and pipeline start at the $60 Professional tier. On free or Turbo there is no deal object at all, so there is nothing to attach a number to.
Tabs is a connector, and that is not the same as an integration
Day.ai draws a distinction worth borrowing. An integration syncs data in on a schedule. A connector syncs nothing and instead lets an agent call out to another tool live, during a conversation.
Six, and no billing tool
Gmail, Google Calendar, Slack, Gong, Granola, Zapier. Nothing that knows what an invoice says.
Five, and one of them bills
Linear, Notion, HubSpot, Affinity and Tabs. Tabs is billing, so an agent can go and read the current position rather than holding a stale copy of it.
Which is arguably the better shape for revenue data. A synced number goes stale between syncs and a live lookup never does, and revenue is exactly the number people quote wrongly from a CRM.
If you are not on Tabs
Push, do not pull
Stripe fires events. Day.ai does not. So the flow is Stripe to Zapier to Day.ai, and never the other direction.
Write it to the company, not the deal
The Zapier action writes people and organisations only. It cannot touch an opportunity, so a paid invoice lands as a company property.
Leave the truth where it is
Your books stay the books. What the CRM needs is enough to stop a rep quoting a number that was never collected, not a second ledger.
Revenue data questions
Is there a Stripe integration?
Not natively. Stripe to Day.ai through Zapier works and writes to the company record. Nothing comes back the other way, because Day.ai publishes no outbound events.
Can an agent tell me who has not paid?
Through the Tabs connector, live, yes. Otherwise only from whatever you have pushed in, which means it is as current as your last Zap ran.
Do I need Professional just to track deals?
Yes. Pipeline and opportunity management begin at $60 per agent per month. Below that you have people, companies and context but no deals.
Where we come in
We connect the money to the record
Closed won and collected are different facts and almost every CRM quietly confuses them. We wire billing to the CRM so the number your team quotes is the number your books agree with.
- Invoiced and collected visible against the company, not guessed at
- One system left as the source of truth for revenue
- The pipeline stages made to mean something specific
- Reporting that survives someone asking where a number came from
