Check the account balance for a course launch
Include a current Stripe balance snapshot in the launch review that follows a new course setup.
Trigger
New Course Created for User
Polls Canvas for newly created courses for a specific user.
Action
Retrieve Balance
Retrieves the complete current balance details for the connected stripe account.
Why this helps
A launch review can miss current account balance context when someone has to remember to check Stripe separately.
- Retrieves the current balance from the connected Stripe account.
- Adds account context to a new course launch review.
- Avoids inferring course-specific revenue from an account-wide balance.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Stripe once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve the current Stripe balance and label it as account-wide context for the course review.
- 4Pick New Course Created for User as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real course creation and confirm the reported balance context is clear.
Questions about this workflow
Is this balance specific to the new course?
No. The action retrieves the connected Stripe account's current balance, not course-level revenue.
Does it transfer funds?
No. It only retrieves balance details.

Stripe actions
Recurring trigger
