input and must return one or more supported Firmhouse actions.
Script Execution is currently a private beta feature. During the beta, Firmhouse staff needs to enable it for your project.
Note: Contact Firmhouse Support to enable this feature for your project. This feature is only available for Advanced or higher tier merchants.
What it is
Script Execution is useful when you need custom logic that is not covered by the standard workflow presets. An outgoing webhook can start the workflow when its selected event happens or at a configured weekly time. Instead of directly changing Firmhouse data from the script, your script decides which supported action Firmhouse should execute next. The script:- must contain valid JavaScript
- receives subscription or project context and trigger details as
input - must
returnan array of action objects - cannot perform direct side effects in Firmhouse by itself
Add a Script Execution workflow
- Ask the Firmhouse support team to enable the Script Execution beta for your project.
- Open your project in the Firmhouse portal.
- In the sidebar, go to Workflows.
- Click Create new workflow.
- Choose Script Execution.
- Enter a name for the workflow and optionally add a description.
- Paste your JavaScript into the script editor.
- Optionally, add Input Parameters (see below).
- Click Save workflow.
- In the sidebar, go to Apps.
- Find the Webhooks app and click Configure.
- Click New outgoing webhook.
- Set Content type to Script Execution.
- Select the Script Execution workflow you created.
- Select the Event that should run the script.
- Optionally, add a JSON Template. The rendered template is passed to the script as
input.trigger.payload. - Make sure the webhook is enabled and click Save.
Delay a signup workflow
This option is in a staff-managed preview. Firmhouse staff can enable Script trigger delays for your project in New Features. It is off by default. Turning the feature off skips delayed triggers, including executions still waiting; it does not run them immediately. For Subscription signed up, Subscription activated, and Order scheduled events, use Run after on the outgoing webhook to wait before running the script. Choose Immediately (the default), or a delay of 1, 5, 10, 20, 30, or 60 minutes. For example, select 5 minutes to let normal signup processing finish before adjusting shipment or billing dates. Firmhouse builds the payload from current records after the delay, rather than using dates captured when the event first occurred. Queue processing can make execution start later than the selected delay. Disabling or deleting the trigger before its delayed payload is generated cancels that pending execution. Changing the delay affects new events; it does not reschedule events already waiting. Delivery retries reuse the generated payload and do not wait again. The event log appears once delivery begins. Manual test events run immediately. Other event types, including Order pre-confirmation, must run immediately. A delay does not guarantee that other processing succeeded: scripts should still check the current order and subscription state before returning actions.Run a Script Execution workflow on a schedule
Use a scheduled Script Execution when the workflow should run once a week without waiting for a subscription event. Scheduled workflows run with project context rather than subscription context.- Create and save a Script Execution workflow.
- In the sidebar, go to Apps.
- Find the Webhooks app and click Configure.
- Click New outgoing webhook.
- Set Content type to Script Execution.
- Select the Script Execution workflow you created.
- Set Event to Scheduled.
- Under Repeats every, select the weekday and time.
- Make sure the webhook is enabled and click Save.
Europe/Amsterdam timezone. The form displays CET or CEST as appropriate, and daylight saving time changes are applied automatically.
Scheduled runs are not connected to a subscription. They support the project-level actions
no_action and add_product_to_plan_group. Actions that require subscription context cannot be returned from a scheduled run.Input Parameters
Input Parameters let you define key/value pairs that become available in your script. This lets you write a single reusable script and configure it differently per workflow — without editing JavaScript. Your script receives the parameters in two forms:input.params— the raw array of parameter objects exactly as configured, e.g.[{"key": "order_1", "type": "product", "value": "gid://..."}, ...]. Use this when you need access to the full metadata (type, individual entries).input.params_normalized— a convenience hash that groups values by key, e.g.{"order_1": "gid://...", "order_2": ["gid://...", "gid://..."]}. Duplicate keys are automatically collected into arrays. Use this for simple key-based lookups.
Parameter types
Each parameter has a Type selector:- Text (default) — Enter any plain text value. The value is always passed to your script as a string. If you need array-like behaviour, use a comma-separated or pipe-separated value and split it in your script (e.g.
"a,b,c".split(",")). - Product — Select a product from your catalog using a search autocomplete field. This makes it easy to deterministically reference a specific product in your input parameters without needing to look up its ID. The selected product’s Global ID is stored and passed to your script as a string (e.g.
"gid://firmhouse/Product/123").
order_2 and type Product will appear as two separate entries in input.params. In input.params_normalized, they are grouped into an array: input.params_normalized.order_2 → ["gid://firmhouse/Product/101", "gid://firmhouse/Product/102"].
The script protocol
Your script must return an array. Each item in the array must be an object with:functionarguments
Rules
- The script must use valid JavaScript syntax.
- The script must
return [...], not{ actions: [...] }. - The returned value must be an array.
- Each action must be an object.
functionmust be one of the supported function names listed below.argumentsmust be an object.- Required arguments must be present.
- Extra arguments are rejected.
- Argument types must match the expected types.
Copy-paste examples
No-op / smoke test
Use this script to verify that the workflow executes successfully without changing the subscription.Product swap example
Use this script as a starting point for a workflow that supports multiple source-to-target product mappings and returns one swap action for each matching current product.Promotion by confirmed orders count
Use this script when you want to apply different promotions after specific order milestones. In this example, one promotion is applied after 3 confirmed orders and another after 6 confirmed orders.Add a free one-off product on a configured order
Use this script when you want to add a free product to a specific upcoming order. The product is added as a one-off add-on, so it is included in that order only. For example, to ship a loyalty reward with order 3, configure the workflow to add it on order 3. Script Execution runs after an order is confirmed, so the action is returned after order 2 is confirmed and prepares the subscription for order 3. Configure the Input Parameters like this:Product sequence with revolving cycle
Some subscription businesses ship different products depending on where the subscriber is in their journey. For example, a health supplements brand might send a starter kit on the first order, then alternate between two different refill packs from order 2 onward. After the first checkout order and possible follow-up orders, you can configure a revolving cycle that spans multiple orders. This script uses Input Parameters to configure which products belong to each order in the sequence. You do not need to edit the JavaScript — just set the parameters in the workflow form.Real-world example
Imagine a supplements brand that works like this:- The customer checks out with a Starter Kit (order 1).
- On order 2, the subscription switches to two refill products: Refill Pack A and Refill Pack B.
- On order 3, the subscription has only Refill Pack A.
- From order 4 onward, orders 2 and 3 keep repeating: the customer alternates between receiving both refill packs and just one.
The resulting order sequence:
- Order 1 → Starter Kit (checkout order — already on subscription at signup)
- Order 2 → Refill Pack A + Refill Pack B (removes Starter Kit, adds both refills)
- Order 3 → Refill Pack A (removes Refill Pack B, keeps Refill Pack A)
- Order 4 → Refill Pack A + Refill Pack B (cycles back to order 2)
- Order 5 → Refill Pack A (cycles back to order 3)
- …and so on
How the Input Parameters work
Each key follows theorder_X format, where X is the order number. Set the type to Product and search for the product you want.
To add multiple products to the same order, add multiple rows with the same key (e.g. two rows both named order_2, each with a different product). The script collects all products for that order automatically.
order_1 represents the checkout order — the products the customer receives at signup. These are already on the subscription, so the script does not add them. It uses order_1 to know which products to remove when moving to order_2.
Add a key named restart_from_order_X (e.g. restart_from_order_2) with any value (e.g. true) to set where the revolving cycle begins. Once all configured orders have been fulfilled, the sequence loops back to this order number and repeats indefinitely.
The script
Paste this script into the Script Execution workflow. It reads the Input Parameters and handles add/remove automatically.Supported functions
no_action
Use this when the Journey should continue without making any subscription change right now.
Required arguments:
reason(string)
swap_product_by_id
Use this to replace one product on the subscription with another product.
Required arguments:
current_product_id(string)new_product_id(string)reason(string)
firmhouse namespace in these Global IDs, for example gid://firmhouse/Product/123. Do not use gid://gomonthly/..., because those IDs will not work in Script Execution workflows.
Example:
update_next_billing_date
Use this to move the subscription’s next billing date.
To also move an existing scheduled order’s shipment date, use reschedule_scheduled_order as a separate action.
Required arguments:
next_billing_date(string, ISO date formatYYYY-MM-DD)reason(string)
update_plan_commitment_dates
Use this to update the subscription plan’s commitment dates. This is useful when a workflow needs to set, extend, or clear the plan’s minimum commitment, maximum commitment, or grace cancellation dates.
Required arguments:
reason(string)
minimum_commitment_ends_at(string, ISO date or timestamp)maximum_commitment_ends_at(string, ISO date or timestamp)grace_cancellation_ends_at(string, ISO date or timestamp)

Required arguments:
applied_promotion_id(integerorstring) — the ID or GlobalID of the subscription’s applied promotion recordreason(string)
promotion_id used by apply_promotion. The applied promotion must belong to the subscription running the workflow. An already-inactive applied promotion is left unchanged.
Example (replace 456 with the applied promotion ID):
"456", or the applied promotion’s GlobalID as returned by Firmhouse. A missing record, a record belonging to another subscription, or an invalid identifier causes the action to fail.
add_product_to_subscription

Required arguments:
product_id(string) — Firmhouse product Global IDreason(string)
quantity(string) — defaults to"1"if not provided

shipment_date:
reschedule_scheduled_order
Use this to move a future scheduled order to an earlier or later shipment date. Both the current and new shipment dates must be in the future. Orders due today or overdue cannot be moved with this action because they may already be queued for processing. The order stays scheduled, and the subscription’s next billing date is unchanged.
Required arguments:
order_id(stringorinteger) — Firmhouse order ID or Firmhouse order Global ID for a scheduled order on the current subscriptionshipment_date(string) — future shipment date inYYYY-MM-DDformatreason(string)
shipment_date. Configure the trigger payload to provide the ID of the scheduled order you want to move.
schedule_order when the order is confirmed and needs to return to the scheduled state. Use update_next_billing_date separately when the subscription’s billing date also needs to change.
If the action fails, check that the order belongs to the current subscription, is still scheduled for a future date, and that the requested date is a future date in YYYY-MM-DD format. When retrying, reuse the intended target date so the order is not moved by another interval.

What input contains
Firmhouse passes context into your script as input. The available fields depend on whether a webhook event or a schedule started the run.
Event-triggered input
For an event-triggered run, Firmhouse passes the current subscription and outgoing webhook context. Most subscription fields follow a fixed structure. The webhook trigger context tells your script which event started the run and includes the rendered webhook payload. The currentinput payload contains:
signed_up_atconfirmed_orders_countconfirmed_or_fulfilled_orderscurrent_productscurrent_promotionsactive_plantrigger— outgoing webhook context for the event that started the script.input.trigger.payloadcontains the rendered webhook template, so its fields depend on what you include in that template.params— the raw array of Input Parameter objects you configured on the workflow (empty array[]when none are set). Each entry haskey,type, andvalue.params_normalized— a convenience hash that groupsparamsby key. Duplicate keys become arrays. Empty object{}when no parameters are set.
promotional_offer and churn_request fields you need in the outgoing webhook template. The rendered values are available under input.trigger.payload. This event is offer-specific; the broader Churn request prevented event also fires for pause, skip, and legacy discount winbacks.
Example:
Field details
signed_up_atThe subscription sign-up timestamp.confirmed_orders_countThe number of confirmed or fulfilled orders on the subscription.confirmed_or_fulfilled_ordersThe confirmed or fulfilled orders, including their order lines.current_productsThe currently active products on the subscription, including instalment-related fields:product_id,instalment_original_product_id, andinstalment_current_number.current_promotionsThe promotions currently applied to the subscription.active_planSelected plan details for the subscription, including bothsubscribed_planattributes and fullplanattributes.triggerOutgoing webhook context for the event that started the script. This includessource,event,outgoing_webhook_id, andpayload. If the event is related to a specific record, it can also includereferenceable_gid. The payload shape depends on the webhook template. The order pre-confirmation examples on this page assume your template includes anorder_idfield, which is then available asinput.trigger.payload.order_id.

input.params contains the raw array of parameter objects you defined in the Input Parameters section of the workflow form. input.params_normalized provides the same data grouped by key for convenient lookups. See Input Parameters for details on how to configure them.
Scheduled input
For a scheduled run, Firmhouse passes project context instead of subscription context.input.trigger.payload is an empty object because no external webhook payload starts the run.
project.id— the project’s Global IDproject.name— the project nameparamsandparams_normalized— the workflow’s configured Input Parameterstrigger.source— alwaysscheduletrigger.event— alwaysscheduledtrigger.outgoing_webhook_id— the outgoing webhook that owns the scheduletrigger.payload— an empty objecttrigger.scheduled_for— the intended execution time, including the Amsterdam UTC offset
Investigate an execution
The Automation Activity Log preview must be enabled for your project. Ask Firmhouse staff to enable it under New Features.- Open Workflows → Activity log. If your project also has Workflow Builder, the legacy script workflows are under Automations → Activity log.
- Search by customer name, email, or subscription ID.
- Open Filters to narrow the results by automation, status, or start date. Results update automatically. The initial view covers today and the previous six days. You can choose earlier dates to find older retained records.
- Select View details for a Journey activity.
Older Journey activities may have less diagnostic information. Logs, timing measurements, and build logs that were never stored cannot be recovered. Details show the information available for each activity.
Troubleshooting
If the script does not save or does not run correctly, check the following:- the script contains valid JavaScript
- the script returns an array
- every action includes
functionandarguments - all required arguments are present
- there are no extra unsupported arguments
- the argument types match the required types
- scheduled scripts only return project-level actions
- the scheduled outgoing webhook is enabled
- your project ID
- the name of the workflow
- the script you saved
- the action you expected the script to return
