Welcome learners when their invoice is paid
A successful invoice payment can trigger a Canvas message with the course link, first task, or other next step you specify.
Trigger
Invoice Payment Succeeded Trigger
Triggered when an invoice payment is successful in Stripe
Action
Create conversation
Use to send messages in canvas by creating a new conversation or adding to an existing one; an existing conversation with the same recipients (and matching scope/filter, if specified) may be reused unless `force new` is true.
Why this helps
Welcome instructions often arrive late when someone has to notice a payment and compose a message by hand.
- Send course next steps promptly after payment.
- Keep welcome instructions consistent.
- Reduce repetitive onboarding messages.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Stripe and Canvas once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by telling Notis who should receive the welcome and what course instructions to send.
- 3Pick the Stripe Invoice Payment Succeeded trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real paid invoice and confirm the recipient and message.
Questions about this workflow
Can the message include custom course instructions?
Yes. Include the instructions in your plain-language automation prompt.
What if the payer is not a Canvas user?
Ask Notis to report unmatched recipients for review so the message is not sent to the wrong person.
