Stop alt-tabbing between Slack and Stripe. React with an emoji and your new customer appears in Stripe automatically.
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 Customer
Creates a new customer in stripe, required for creating charges or subscriptions; an email is highly recommended for customer communications.
Why this helps
Creating customers manually in Stripe pulls you out of your Slack workflow, interrupting focus and slowing down onboarding.
- Keep focus in Slack without context-switching to Stripe
- Create customers instantly with a single reaction
- Reduce manual data entry and typos
- Automate your customer onboarding flow
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Slack workspace and Stripe account to Notis (one-time setup).
- 2In the Notis portal, create a new automation: set the name to 'New Customer Emoji Trigger', paste this prompt: 'When I react to a Slack message with a specific emoji, create that contact as a customer in Stripe', select your Slack channel, and choose 'Message Reaction Added' as the trigger.
- 3Notis will ask you which emoji to watch for; pick one (e.g., :moneybag: or :tada:).
- 4Pick a Slack channel where Notis will report each new customer created.
- 5Test by reacting to a message in your target channel; verify the customer appears in Stripe within seconds.
Questions about this workflow
Which emoji should I use to trigger customer creation?
You choose. Pick one that makes sense to your team, like :moneybag: for payments, :tada: for celebrations, or :rocket: for launches. Notis will watch for that specific emoji.
Does this work with reactions added after the message is posted?
Yes, any reaction added to any message in your chosen channel will trigger the automation, whether it's a new message or an old one.
What info gets sent to Stripe?
Notis extracts the Slack user and message context, then creates a customer in Stripe with that person's name and email if available.
