Record subscription updates as transaction rows for billing

Automatically capture updated customer subscription events across Stripe, Formatter by Zapier, and Airtable. Create and update when subscription updates arriveβ€”so you can build ledger-ready transaction rows, normalize billing dates, and reconcile status changes without manual billing prep.
