Releases Trigger Billing
You tag a release in GitHub. Notis automatically invoices your customers in Stripe for the release. Billing happens the same day code ships.
Trigger
New Repository Tag Created
Triggers when a new tag is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors the repository's tags and fires an event for each newly created tag. The payload includes the tag name, the commit SHA and URL it points to, and archive download URLs.
Action
Create an invoice
Creates a new draft stripe invoice for a customer; use to revise an existing invoice, bill for a specific subscription (which must belong to the customer), or apply detailed customizations.
Why this helps
Feature releases don't trigger any billing action. Invoices are created manually days later. Customers expect to be billed when releases ship, not whenever you remember.
- Invoicing is automatic and predictable
- Customers see charges on release days
- Cash flow matches your release schedule
- No manual billing on release day
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Stripe.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a new tag is created on the main branch, create a Stripe invoice for all active subscribers.'
- 3Set trigger to 'New Repository Tag Created' and pick your channel.
- 4Test by creating a test tag (e.g., v1.2.0) and verifying invoices appear in Stripe.
Questions about this workflow
Should I invoice all customers or specific tiers?
Tell Notis which customers to invoice: 'only invoice customers with the premium plan' or 'invoice all active subscriptions.'
What if I make a test tag by accident?
You can exclude tags matching certain patterns: 'only invoice when tags match v*.*.* (production releases).'
Can I include the release notes in the invoice?
Yes. Tell Notis to include release notes: 'add the release description as the invoice line item description.'

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Stripe. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Stripe actions
New Workflow Artifact Created
Triggers when a new workflow artifact is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors for newly created GitHub Actions workflow artifacts. Optionally filters by artifact name to restrict monitoring to specific artifacts.
Cancel subscription
Cancels a customer's active stripe subscription at the end of the current billing period, with options to invoice immediately for metered usage and prorate charges for unused time.
Branch Changed
Triggers when a GitHub branch changes. Monitors a specific branch for: - New commits pushed (head commit SHA changes) - Protection status toggled (branch becomes protected or unprotected) - Protection settings changed, including: required status checks and their enforcement level, admin enforcement, required pull request reviews (dismiss stale reviews, code owner reviews, approving review count, last push approval), required linear history, force push allowance, deletion allowance, conversation resolution, branch locking, and fork syncing.
Confirm payment intent
Confirms a stripe paymentintent to finalize a payment; a `return url` is necessary if the payment method requires customer redirection.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Create Customer
Creates a new customer in stripe, required for creating charges or subscriptions; an email is highly recommended for customer communications.
Check Run Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub check run changes its status or conclusion. Monitors a single check run for changes to: status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.), conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required), started_at, and completed_at.
Create an invoice
Creates a new draft stripe invoice for a customer; use to revise an existing invoice, bill for a specific subscription (which must belong to the customer), or apply detailed customizations.
Check Suite Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a GitHub check suite changes its status or conclusion for a given ref. Monitors all check suites associated with a git reference (branch, tag, or commit SHA) for changes to status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.) and conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required, startup_failure, stale). Optionally filters by GitHub App ID.
Create payment intent
Creates a stripe paymentintent to initiate and process a customer's payment; using `application fee amount` for a connected account requires the `stripe-account` header.
New Code Scanning Alert Created
Triggers when a new code scanning alert is created in a repository. Fires an event for each newly created code scanning alert detected in the configured repository. Alerts can be filtered by Git reference, scanning tool, state, and severity. The payload includes the alert number, rule details, tool information, state, severity, and the location of the most recent instance.
Create a price
Creates a new stripe price for a product, defining its charges (one-time or recurring) and billing scheme; requires either an existing `product` id or `product data`.
New Repository Collaborator Added
Triggers when a new collaborator is added to a GitHub repository. Monitors the full list of collaborators on a repository and fires an event for each newly added collaborator. The payload includes the collaborator's GitHub username, account ID, profile URL, avatar URL, permission flags (pull, triage, push, maintain, admin), and assigned role name.
Create product
Creates a new product in stripe, encoding the request as `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` by flattening nested structures.
Commit Event
Triggered when a new commit is pushed to a repository.
Create Refund
Creates a full or partial refund in stripe, targeting either a specific charge id or a payment intent id.
