Handle newsletter refund requests in Stripe

Route a refund request into a clear billing action with the payment reference and decision criteria in one place.

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 can get buried between newsletter conversations and billing work, delaying a clear resolution.

  • Brings refund requests into a consistent review process.
  • Uses a supplied payment or charge reference to target the right transaction.
  • Can reduce manual handoffs when the request meets your explicit criteria.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Beehiiv and Stripe once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for refund requests.
  • 3Tell Notis which Beehiiv-related webhook requests qualify, what payment reference to use, and when to create a full or partial Stripe refund.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real example using a known Stripe payment and verify the refund details.

Questions about this workflow

Will every incoming request automatically be refunded?

Only if your instruction says so. Set clear eligibility and approval criteria, and require a valid charge id or payment intent id before creating a refund.

Can the workflow calculate a refund amount?

It can use an amount and rationale included in the request or supplied in your instructions. If the necessary amount or transaction reference is missing, the workflow should report that it needs review.
