When receiving a `payout.created` Stripe webhook, what is the easiest way to determine which Stripe Connect Custom account it is for?

(Stripe api version: 2020-08-27)

I am working on setting up Stripe to create payouts automatically each week to our Stripe Connect accounts with earnings.

I want my own api to listen for the payout.created Stripe webhook, so I can record and track the event data in my local database. However, I don't see any easy way to tell which Stripe Connect account the newly created payout is for, by looking at the object's properties (API reference).

I was going to try and make the determination by looking at the $payout->destination property, which would give me the bank account the payout was for. I could then retrieve that bank account and see which user it relates to. However, in order to retrieve a bank account, I have to already know the customer id, and I don't have that info. I'm not even dealing with a customer here, I'm dealing with a service provider that has earnings that we need to pay. The bank account is not the same thing as the stripe connect account.

How do I deal with this? Seems weird that it would be so difficult to figure out who the payout is for.

As mentioned in a comment to the question each event for a connect account (including payout.created) has an account property with the id of the connect account.

function onWebhookRequest(request) {
   const stripeEvent = req.body
   console.log(stripeEvent.account) // E.g acct_123SGg2EI912PPzm
}
