Bring refund records into a course billing discussion
Keep relevant refund history close at hand when a new discussion raises a billing question.
Trigger
New Canvas Discussion Message
Polls Canvas discussion topics for new messages.
Action
List Refunds
Lists stripe refunds, sorted by creation date descending (newest first), with optional filtering by charge or payment intent and pagination support.
Why this helps
A billing question in a course discussion can take several searches to connect with the right refund record.
- Starts a refund history lookup from a new discussion message.
- Helps gather payment context for a billing response.
- Does not post a response or make a refund decision.
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 and ask Notis to report matching refunds for review.
- 4Pick New Canvas Discussion Message as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real discussion message and confirm it leads to the correct refund records.
Questions about this workflow
Will Notis reply to the discussion?
No. The available Stripe action lists refunds; it does not post a Canvas message.
What if the discussion does not identify a payment?
Provide the needed identifier in your instruction or treat the result as unavailable and request manual review.
