ProfitWell

Retrieve revenue analytics metrics and company settings from the ProfitWell API.

Action Analytics v1

The ProfitWell node retrieves subscription revenue metrics — MRR, churn, LTV, ARPU and related figures — along with company settings. A typical build is pulling last month's metrics into a board report automatically instead of exporting them by hand.

ProfitWell

Retrieve subscription revenue metrics and company settings from ProfitWell.

Overview

ProfitWell (now part of Paddle) provides subscription financial metrics and analytics. This tool accesses the ProfitWell API v2 (https://api.profitwell.com/v2). It supports two resources: Company (get settings) and Metric (get daily or monthly financial metrics). The Metric resource returns subscription revenue data including MRR, churn, customer counts, LTV, ARPU, and more. Daily metrics can be filtered by month (YYYY-MM format) and optionally by plan ID. Monthly metrics return all-time monthly data. Both types support a “simplify” mode that flattens the nested response into easier-to-process objects. Authentication is via API token passed in the Authorization header.

Parameters

Company: Get Settings takes no parameters of its own.

Parameter values are sent to ProfitWell exactly as you type them — this node does not evaluate {{ … }} expressions in its fields, so enter literal values.

Output Data

The ProfitWell response is merged into the output item’s JSON at the top level — the returned fields sit alongside the fields the input item already carried, so downstream nodes address them directly ({{ $json.recurring_revenue }}) rather than through a wrapper property. A response field with the same name as an existing item field overwrites it. Binary data on the input item is forwarded unchanged.

How many items you get back depends on the shape of the response:

ConfigurationOutput
Company → Get SettingsOne output item carrying your company’s settings fields.
Metric → Get, Type daily, Simplify onOne output item per day in the month — each item carries a date plus one property per requested metric.
Metric → Get, Type monthly, Simplify onOne output item carrying one property per requested metric plus the date of the most recent month in the series.
Metric → Get, Simplify offOne output item carrying the raw metrics object — one property per metric, each an array of { date, value } entries.

With Simplify off, a daily response looks like this, and you index into the arrays yourself:

{
  "recurring_revenue": [
    { "date": "2026-01-01", "value": 412300 },
    { "date": "2026-01-02", "value": 413100 }
  ],
  "active_customers": [
    { "date": "2026-01-01", "value": 318 },
    { "date": "2026-01-02", "value": 319 }
  ]
}

With Simplify on, the same call produces one flat item per date:

{
  "date": "2026-01-01",
  "recurring_revenue": 412300,
  "active_customers": 318
}

Revenue metrics are returned in cents, matching the ProfitWell API.

Usage Examples

  • Get company ProfitWell account settings
  • Get daily MRR and churn metrics for the current month
  • Get monthly recurring revenue metrics for all time
  • Get daily active customer count for January 2024
  • Get monthly churn rate and LTV metrics filtered by plan

Example Configuration

Retrieve your company’s ProfitWell account settings:

{
  "type": "profitwell",
  "parameters": {
    "resource": "company",
    "operation": "getSetting"
  }
}

Get a simplified daily breakdown for a specific month — one item per day:

{
  "type": "profitwell",
  "parameters": {
    "resource": "metric",
    "operation": "get",
    "type": "daily",
    "month": "2026-01",
    "simple": true
  }
}

Get the full monthly history for a single plan, unsimplified:

{
  "type": "profitwell",
  "parameters": {
    "resource": "metric",
    "operation": "get",
    "type": "monthly",
    "simple": false,
    "options": {
      "plan_id": "my-plan-id"
    }
  }
}

Ask for just two daily metrics instead of the full set:

{
  "type": "profitwell",
  "parameters": {
    "resource": "metric",
    "operation": "get",
    "type": "daily",
    "month": "2026-01",
    "simple": false,
    "options": {
      "plan_id": "my-plan-id",
      "dailyMetrics": ["recurring_revenue", "active_customers"]
    },
    "maxConcurrency": 5
  }
}

Track churn and lifetime value month over month:

{
  "type": "profitwell",
  "parameters": {
    "resource": "metric",
    "operation": "get",
    "type": "monthly",
    "simple": true,
    "options": {
      "monthlyMetrics": ["customers_churn_rate", "revenue_churn_rate", "lifetime_value"]
    }
  }
}

Tips

Retrieve subscription revenue metrics (MRR, churn, LTV, ARPU, etc.) and company settings from the ProfitWell API.

Important Notes

  • The month parameter only accepts current or previous month values in YYYY-MM format
  • When using the options collection, structure it as a flat object directly under the options key
  • The simple parameter controls response complexity - set to true for cleaner, processed data
  • Daily metrics require a specific month, while monthly metrics return all available historical data

Frequently asked questions

Which months can I request?

The month parameter accepts only the current or previous month, in `YYYY-MM` format. Older periods are not addressable through this parameter.

What is the Simple parameter for?

It controls response complexity — set it true for cleaner, processed data when you do not need the full raw structure.

How do daily metrics differ?

Daily metrics require a specific month to be supplied, whereas some other requests do not, so check what the metric you want needs before assuming defaults.

How should the options collection be structured?

As a flat object directly under the `options` key rather than nested further.

Build with the ProfitWell node

Drop it into a workflow, wire it to an agent, or call it on a schedule. You'll need ProfitWell API credentials first.
