Auto-Cancel Subscription When Project Ends
Archive a project in Drive and Notis cancels their subscription in Stripe. No more billing for work that's done.
Trigger
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Action
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.
Why this helps
You finish a project and archive the file in Drive, but forget to cancel the client's Stripe subscription. They keep getting billed for services they no longer use.
- Stop billing clients automatically when projects end, not days later
- Reduce customer refund requests from continued billing
- Eliminate the manual subscription cancellation step
- Keep your active customer base accurate
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Stripe integrations.
- 2Create an automation: 'When I delete or archive a project file, cancel the associated subscription in Stripe.'
- 3Select the trigger 'File Deleted or Trashed' and specify your projects folder.
- 4Choose whether to cancel immediately or at the end of the billing period.
- 5Set your notification channel and test by archiving a project.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which subscription to cancel?
Notis matches the project file name or folder to the customer name or subscription in Stripe. You can also include the customer ID in your filename.
Can it issue a refund for unused time?
Yes. You can configure Notis to cancel 'at the end of the billing period' (no refund) or 'immediately' with a prorated refund for unused days.
What if I archive the file by mistake?
Notis can send you a confirmation before canceling, or you can manually re-activate the subscription in Stripe if needed.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Stripe. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Stripe actions
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
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.
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Confirm payment intent
Confirms a stripe paymentintent to finalize a payment; a `return url` is necessary if the payment method requires customer redirection.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Create Customer
Creates a new customer in stripe, required for creating charges or subscriptions; an email is highly recommended for customer communications.
File Shared (Permissions Added)
Triggers when new sharing permissions are granted to a file or folder. Uses Drive's `changes.list` endpoint with inline `permissions` in the `fields` mask so each change carries the file's current permission set provider-atomically. We diff that against `seen_permission_keys` to identify newly added grants. Drive page tokens are the primary cursor; if Drive rejects a stored token, the trigger raises `PollingTriggerError` without clearing state rather than silently re-baselining and dropping events. Limitation: truly ephemeral permissions (added and revoked between two polls without any other file modification in between) are not detected. Drive Activity API would catch those but requires an additional OAuth scope and a different payload contract.
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.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
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.
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
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`.
New File Matching Query
Triggers when a new Google Drive file matches a provided query. This is the legacy query-centric trigger: it preserves Drive API query config such as ``corpora`` / ``driveId`` aliases and emits the historical ``file_matching_query`` event type. ``FileCreatedTrigger`` covers the broader "new file" case and emits ``file_created``.
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.
