Prepare monthly invoices for licensed assets
Set a regular review for licensed assets so billable usage can become draft Stripe invoices before it slips through the cracks.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
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.
Why this helps
Recurring media licensing work is easy to overlook when usage records are spread across asset folders and billing queues.
- Create a predictable review point for licensed asset billing.
- Use supplied customer and rate rules to prepare draft invoices.
- Review invoices in Stripe before they are sent.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Cloudinary and Stripe once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to review Cloudinary license records for the period and create draft invoices for customers whose supplied billing rules show a charge.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real billing period and verify the draft invoice details in Stripe.
Questions about this workflow
What does Notis need to calculate the invoice?
Provide the billing period, customer identifiers, rates, and rules for billable usage, or ensure those details are present in the connected records.
Will this charge customers automatically?
No. The Stripe action creates draft invoices. Review and send them from Stripe.
What if there are no billable licenses in a period?
Tell Notis to report that no draft invoice is needed. The schedule itself does not imply a charge.

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