Create a Stripe refund from an approved refund doc
Mark a refund decision in the document and let Notis carry the instruction into Stripe.
Trigger
Keyword Detected in Document
Triggers when a specific keyword or phrase first appears in a Google Doc. This trigger monitors a Google Doc and fires once when the specified keyword is detected. After the keyword is found, the trigger will not fire again until reset.
Action
Create Refund
Creates a full or partial refund in stripe, targeting either a specific charge id or a payment intent id.
Why this helps
Approved refunds can be forgotten while teams move the decision from a document into Stripe by hand.
- Reduce the gap between a documented refund decision and Stripe processing.
- Keep the reason and payment reference alongside the approval.
- Receive a run report when the refund action is attempted.
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 approved refunds.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to create a full or partial refund only when the document contains the approval phrase and a valid charge or payment intent reference.
- 4Pick the Keyword Detected in Document trigger, set the phrase in the trigger, and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real approved refund document and verify the payment reference and requested refund amount.
Questions about this workflow
Can this refund a partial amount?
Yes, if the instruction and document specify the partial amount. The Stripe action supports full or partial refunds.
Will the keyword trigger every time the doc changes?
The trigger fires once when the specified keyword is detected, and will not fire again until reset.

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.
