Draft a Stripe invoice when billing details are ready
Use a document threshold as a cue that the billing details are ready for a Stripe invoice draft.
Trigger
Document Word Count Threshold
Triggers when a Google Doc's word/character count crosses a user-defined threshold. This trigger monitors a specific Google Doc and fires when its word or character count becomes greater than or equal to the configured threshold value.
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
A founder can finish writing billing details and still have the invoice creation step waiting in another app.
- Turn a sufficiently complete billing doc into an invoice draft.
- Avoid switching to Stripe just to start the invoice.
- Keep the invoice grounded in the billing details already supplied.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Docs and Stripe once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for invoice drafting.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to create a draft invoice from the customer and invoice details supplied in the document.
- 4Pick the Document Word Count Threshold trigger for the specific document and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real billing document that includes a Stripe customer identifier and the intended invoice details.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Docs to Stripe. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Docs 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.
New Document Created
Triggers when a new Google Doc is created. This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when new documents are detected. Uses timestamp filtering to efficiently poll for new documents.
Create Customer
Creates a new customer in stripe, required for creating charges or subscriptions; an email is highly recommended for customer communications.
Document Deleted
Triggers when an existing Google Doc is deleted (moved to trash). This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when documents are trashed.
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.
Document Placeholder Filled
Triggers when a Google Doc's plain text changes such that a configured placeholder token/pattern is no longer present (i.e., the document has been filled in). This trigger monitors a specific Google Doc and fires when a placeholder pattern that was previously present is no longer found in the document's plain text.
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.
Document Search Update
Triggers when a Google Doc matching a user-defined search query is newly created or updated since the last poll. This trigger uses timestamp filtering to efficiently monitor documents.
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`.
Document Structure Changed
Triggers when a Google Doc's structure changes (headers/footers added/removed, tables/images count changes). This trigger monitors a specific document for structural changes like: - Headers added or removed - Footers added or removed - Tables added or removed - Images (inline objects) added or removed - Positioned objects added or removed - Footnotes added or removed
Create product
Creates a new product in stripe, encoding the request as `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` by flattening nested structures.
Document Updated
Triggers when an existing Google Doc is updated or modified. This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when documents are updated.
Create Refund
Creates a full or partial refund in stripe, targeting either a specific charge id or a payment intent id.
