Start Stripe subscriptions from Bika approvals
Move a signed and approved customer into recurring billing with a clear handoff.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create subscription
Creates a new, highly configurable subscription for an existing stripe customer, supporting multiple items, trials, discounts, and various billing/payment options.
Why this helps
A signed contract can still wait while someone recreates its billing terms in Stripe.
- Shortens the handoff from contract approval to billing setup
- Keeps subscription creation tied to an approved record
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bika and Stripe once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a subscription only for an approved contract with an existing Stripe customer id and valid price ids and terms.
- 4Choose notis_webhook as the trigger and configure Bika to send approved contract details to the Notis webhook.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real approved contract example.
Questions about this workflow
Will this create a Stripe customer too?
No. The subscription action requires an existing Stripe customer. Create or verify that customer separately first.
Can the workflow infer billing terms from a contract?
Only if those terms are present in the webhook or otherwise supplied to Notis. Confirm price ids, quantities, trials, and billing options before enabling it.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Bika.ai to Stripe. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Bika.ai triggers
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.
