Turn Payment Failures Into Actionable Data—Automatically
Payment intents fail in Stripe every day. Notis logs each one as an Airtable record, creating a retry queue you can prioritize manually or automate through follow-up workflows.
Trigger
Payment Intent Failed Trigger
Triggered when a payment intent fails in Stripe
Action
Create a record
Creates a new record in a specified airtable table; field values must conform to the table's column types.
Why this helps
Failed payment intents vanish into Stripe logs. You never see them unless you dig into the dashboard. No retry queue, no failure analysis, no way to know if you have a real revenue problem or a one-off glitch.
- Every failed payment intent gets logged in Airtable with timestamp and reason code.
- Enables retry strategy: prioritize high-value failures or batch retry attempts.
- Surfaces failure patterns: Can you spot why payment intents are failing? Airtable holds the data.
- Reduces guesswork about lost revenue; actual numbers are visible and traceable.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Stripe and Airtable to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a payment intent fails in Stripe, create a record in my Airtable failed-payments table with customer email, amount, failure reason, and a link to the Stripe transaction.'
- 3Choose trigger: Stripe Payment Intent Failed.
- 4Select notification channel.
- 5Test with a failed payment intent and verify the record appears in Airtable immediately.
Questions about this workflow
How often do I need to check the failed-payments table?
Set up a daily or weekly summary notification, and Notis can send you a digest. Or create a secondary automation that alerts you when failures exceed a threshold (e.g., more than 3 failures per day).
Can Notis automatically retry failed payments?
The Payment Intent Failed trigger logs the failure. To retry, either do it manually from the Airtable record (using a button) or set up a separate workflow triggered on a schedule (e.g., 'Every 2 days, retry all failed intents marked for retry').
Does this capture all payment failures or just some types?
Payment Intent Failed covers most Stripe payment attempts. For legacy Charge API failures, use the Charge Failed trigger instead. You can run both to catch all payment events.
