Handle authorized refund requests from Outlook

Move an approved refund request into Stripe with the payment reference included in the email.

Trigger

New Outlook Message

Triggered when a new message is received in the Outlook mailbox.

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

Refund requests can stall while you search for payment details and switch between your inbox and Stripe.

  • Act on an explicit refund instruction with a supplied payment reference.
  • Reduce time spent locating refund requests across tools.
  • Skip requests without clear authorization or an identifiable payment.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Outlook and Stripe once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Tell Notis to create a refund only for an explicitly approved request that includes a valid charge or payment intent identifier and a clear amount or full-refund instruction.
  • 4Pick the New Outlook Message trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real approved request and verify the payment reference and amount.

Questions about this workflow

Can this decide whether a customer deserves a refund?

No. The instruction should require an explicit approval in the email and should skip requests where approval or payment details are unclear.

Can the refund be partial?

The Stripe action supports full or partial refunds. The request needs to state a clear amount for a partial refund.
