Get payment details for a course question

Bring an identified payment intent into view when a discussion raises a course billing question.

Trigger

New Canvas Discussion Message

Polls Canvas discussion topics for new messages.

Action

Retrieve payment intent

Retrieves a paymentintent by its id; `client secret` is required if a publishable api key is used.

Why this helps

Answering a billing question can take longer when the related payment details are in a separate account.

  • Retrieves details for an identified payment intent.
  • Makes payment context available for discussion follow-up.
  • Does not confirm or update the payment.

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, specify how to identify the payment intent and what details to report for review.
  • 4Pick New Canvas Discussion Message as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real message and verify that the payment intent belongs to the right customer.

Questions about this workflow

Can this find a payment intent from a discussion message?

The Stripe action retrieves a payment intent by id. The workflow needs that id or a supported way to obtain it.

Will it finalize the payment?

No. It retrieves intent details only.
