Check whether an Akta company contact already exists in Stripe
Send a company contact to Notis and search Stripe before creating another customer record.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Search Stripe customers
Retrieves a list of stripe customers matching a search query that adheres to stripe's search query language.
Why this helps
A researched company may already have a Stripe record, and duplicate customers make billing history harder to follow.
- Check for existing customer records before creating a new one.
- Use a supplied email or other search detail to narrow the lookup.
- Send possible matches to a report channel for a person to review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Akta and Stripe once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation for checking existing Stripe customers.
- 3Tell Notis to search Stripe using the supplied company contact details and report possible matches without creating a customer.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real contact and inspect the search results.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow create or merge customers?
No. It searches Stripe customers and reports matches for review. The listed search action does not merge records.
What information makes a useful search?
Provide contact details or identifiers suitable for Stripe's customer search. Notis should report when the supplied information does not support a confident match.

Stripe actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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.
