Turn Slack DMs into ready-to-send invoices
A customer slides into your Slack DMs asking for an invoice? Notis creates it in Stripe and sends you the link instantly.
Trigger
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
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
Manually creating invoices for each customer request adds friction and delays, especially when customers ask via DM.
- Respond to customer invoice requests instantly
- Eliminate duplicate invoices from manual data entry
- Reduce time between request and delivery
- Keep customer conversations and billing in sync
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Slack workspace and Stripe account to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: name it 'DM to Invoice', use this prompt: 'When I receive a direct message in Slack about an invoice, create that invoice in Stripe and tell me the invoice URL', choose 'Direct Message Received' as your trigger.
- 3Notis will watch all your incoming DMs and extract invoice details (amount, customer, description).
- 4Set a Slack channel where Notis sends confirmations with the invoice link.
- 5Test by sending Notis a DM like 'Create an invoice for $1200 for Acme Corp' and watch the invoice appear.
Questions about this workflow
How should I phrase my DM to Notis?
Be natural. Say something like 'Invoice for $500 for Jane' or 'Bill client XYZ for 10 hours at $100/hr'. Notis understands context.
Can Notis handle recurring invoice patterns?
Yes, if you mention the same client or service repeatedly, Notis learns the pattern and can apply it to future invoices.
What if the invoice needs changes before sending?
Notis creates draft invoices, so you can review and adjust in Stripe before sending to the customer.
