When does payment_link.used fire?
AFTER donation.paid for the same donation, additionally signals that the donation originated from a payment_link rather than a direct campaign visit.
What developers build with it
- Per-link conversion attribution
- Channel-level fundraising ROI (WhatsApp vs email vs embed)
- Re-targeting / cohort analysis on link-source URL
- Auto-disable / extend a payment link based on usage
