Confirm Payments Without Leaving Email
Customer approves a payment via email. Notis confirms the Stripe payment intent instantly—no manual login, no delay, no risk of forgetting.
Trigger
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
Action
Update Payment Intent
Updates a stripe paymentintent with new values for specified parameters; note that if `currency` is updated, `amount` might also be required, and certain updates (e.g., to `payment method`) can necessitate re-confirmation by the customer.
Why this helps
Pending payments hang in Stripe waiting for confirmation, customer sends approval email, you forget to actually confirm it, and the payment times out.
- Eliminate manual payment confirmation as a task
- Reduce payment timeout failures by confirming faster
- Speed up customer checkout without dashboard navigation
- Keep payment flow smooth from email to complete

- 4Test by creating a test payment intent and having a colleague email approval.
- 5Enable and watch payment processing accelerate.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which payment intent to confirm?
Look for the payment intent ID in the customer's email, or Notis can match by customer email and find the most recent pending intent.
What if the payment intent expires before Notis confirms it?
Notis will catch that and email you to alert you, so you can create a new payment intent if needed.
Can I add security checks, like requiring a specific approval phrase?
Yes—set a rule like "only confirm if the email contains 'I approve'" to add an extra safety layer.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Gmail to Stripe. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Gmail triggers
Stripe actions
Email Sent
Triggers when a Gmail message is sent by the authenticated user. It polls the 'SENT' label and emits metadata including sender, recipients, subject, timestamp, and thread ID.
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.
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
Confirm payment intent
Confirms a stripe paymentintent to finalize a payment; a `return url` is necessary if the payment method requires customer redirection.
Create Customer
Creates a new customer in stripe, required for creating charges or subscriptions; an email is highly recommended for customer communications.
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.
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.
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`.
Create product
Creates a new product in stripe, encoding the request as `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` by flattening nested structures.
Create Refund
Creates a full or partial refund in stripe, targeting either a specific charge id or a payment intent id.
