Start the CommCare workflow when a subscription is added
Turn a new Stripe subscription into a defined CommCare form submission so the operational next step is easier to remember.
Trigger

Triggered when a subscription is added in Stripe
Action
Submit Form to CommCare
Tool to submit an XForm to CommCare following the OpenRosa standard. Use when you need to submit form data with complete XML including required metadata fields (deviceID, timeStart, timeEnd, username, userID, instanceID).
Why this helps
Subscription starts can sit in a billing dashboard while someone waits to kick off the associated program workflow.
- Connect a new subscription to its next operational step
- Reduce manual monitoring of subscription activity
- Keep the form submission attempt visible in run reports

- 1Connect Stripe and CommCare once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Describe in one instruction what CommCare form should be submitted when a subscription is added.
- 4Pick the Stripe Subscription Added trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real subscription and review the CommCare result.
Questions about this workflow
Can this create a case for the subscriber?
The workflow submits an XForm. Whether that creates or updates a case depends on the form and CommCare configuration.
What if the subscription does not include all form details?
Notis can only use available information. Provide any required data or program context not included in the Stripe event.
