Retrieve Stripe customer details for new Box files

New customer paperwork can trigger an immediate context check. Notis can retrieve the matching Stripe record and report the customer details alongside the Box event.

Trigger

New File Added to Folder

Triggers when a new file is added to a folder in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box folder and fires when new files are detected. Only files (not folders or web links) are monitored.

Action

Retrieve customer

Retrieves detailed information for an existing stripe customer using their unique customer id.

Why this helps

People lose time opening Box files, switching to Stripe, and searching for the customer record before they can respond.

  • Reduce app switching during customer document triage.
  • Bring billing context into the automation run report.
  • Flag files with no reliable customer identifier for follow-up.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Box and Stripe once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to identify the customer from available file context, retrieve the Stripe customer record, and summarize useful details in the run report.
  • 4Pick the Box New File Added to Folder trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real customer file and verify the report against Stripe.

Questions about this workflow

Does this modify Stripe data?

No. It retrieves the customer record and summarizes relevant information in the run report.

What identifier does the file need?

A reliable shared identifier such as the customer's email or Stripe customer ID. If the file lacks one, Notis should report that it cannot confidently match a customer.

Can this process any new folder item?

This workflow uses New File Added to Folder, which monitors only files. A broader new item event can also include folders and web links.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Box to Stripe. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Box triggers

Stripe actions

Recurring trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

TriggerScheduled

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.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

TriggerInstant

Confirm payment intent

Confirms a stripe paymentintent to finalize a payment; a `return url` is necessary if the payment method requires customer redirection.

ActionInstant
