Keep a failed company charge from losing its expense context

If a failed charge relates to a work purchase that still needs recording, have Notis capture it in Breathe HR with the right employee context.

Trigger

Charge Failed Trigger

Triggered when a direct charge fails in Stripe's legacy Charges API

Action

Create Employee Expense

Tool to create an employee expense record in BreatheHR. Use when an employee needs to submit a new expense claim for reimbursement or record a company-paid expense.

Why this helps

Payment failure notifications can separate a work purchase from the expense follow-up needed to keep records complete.

  • Retain expense context when a charge fails.
  • Create an HR expense record for verified work purchases.
  • Avoid confusing a customer charge with an employee expense.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Stripe and Breathe HR once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3In one instruction, define which failed charges are company expenses and provide the employee and expense details needed for the record.
  • 4Pick the Stripe Charge Failed trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real failed charge that represents an identified company expense.

Questions about this workflow

Is this trigger for every kind of failed Stripe payment?

No. This is the listed trigger for a direct charge failure in Stripe's legacy Charges API.

Does a failed charge itself prove an expense occurred?

No. Use this only where the charge represents a company expense that should be recorded, and supply the employee and expense details.

Can the expense be submitted for reimbursement here?

This workflow uses Create Employee Expense to record the expense. A separate claim workflow can group eligible unclaimed expense records.
