Handle Stripe refund requests that arrive by text
Give refund requests a consistent path from SMS into Stripe, with a report for each run.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Refund
Creates a full or partial refund in stripe, targeting either a specific charge id or a payment intent id.
Why this helps
Refund requests buried in text threads are easy to miss or act on without enough payment context.
- Bring texted refund requests into a consistent review process.
- Use Stripe charge data to ground the decision.
- Keep ambiguous requests from becoming unsupported refunds.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Android Texter and Stripe once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and add a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to identify the customer and payment from each webhook request, check Stripe for a matching charge, and create a refund only when the request clearly specifies the payment and amount.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and a report channel.
- 5Test with one real refund request sent to the webhook, and verify the Stripe result.
Questions about this workflow
Can it refund from a vague text?
It should be instructed to report ambiguity and not create a refund unless it can identify the intended payment and requested amount.
Does Android Texter trigger this on its own?
No Android Texter trigger event is listed. An HTTP request must deliver the SMS information to the Notis webhook.

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.
