Stop creating subscriptions manually in Stripe. React with your chosen emoji in Slack, and the subscription is live instantly.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Action
Create subscription
Creates a new, highly configurable subscription for an existing stripe customer, supporting multiple items, trials, discounts, and various billing/payment options.
Why this helps
Creating subscriptions requires navigating Stripe's dashboard, selecting prices, and handling multiple steps—cognitive friction that neurodivergent founders often abandon.
- Create subscriptions without leaving Slack
- Reduce cognitive load from dashboard navigation
- Enable quick subscription onboarding
- Minimize forgotten subscription setups
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Stripe to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: name it 'Emoji Subscription Launch', use this prompt: 'When I react to a Slack message with a specific emoji, create a subscription in Stripe for that customer using our default plan', pick 'Message Reaction Added'.
- 3Tell Notis which emoji to watch for and which subscription plan to use (you pick this once).
- 4Set your Slack channel for confirmations.
- 5Test by reacting to a message about a customer; the subscription will appear in Stripe instantly.
Questions about this workflow
Which Stripe plan will be used for the subscription?
You set this when creating the automation. Notis uses your chosen default plan. You can create separate automations for different plans if needed.
Does the customer get billed immediately?
Yes, the subscription becomes active right away. Stripe will charge according to your plan's billing cycle (e.g., monthly).
Can I customize the trial period or other settings?
Notis can include trial settings in the automation prompt. For example, say 'with a 7-day free trial' when creating the automation.
