Auto-Create Investigation Folders for Failed Charges

Every failed charge gets its own investigation space. Notis automatically creates a folder in Drive where your team can collect evidence, logs, and notes about what went wrong.

Trigger

Charge Failed Trigger

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

Action

Create a folder

Creates a new folder in google drive, optionally within a parent folder specified by its id or name; if a parent name is provided but not found, the action will fail.

Why this helps

A charge fails and your team scrambles to troubleshoot. Investigation details scatter across emails, Slack, and Stripe. The truth about what went wrong gets lost.

  • Centralized space for investigating each failed charge
  • Team collaboration happens in one place, not scattered Slack
  • Investigation history stays organized for future reference
  • Faster resolution because information isn't scattered

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Stripe and Google Drive to Notis.
  • 2Create a parent folder called 'Charge Investigations' in Drive.
  • 3Ask Notis: 'When a charge fails in Stripe, create a subfolder in Charge Investigations named with the customer name and date, for organizing investigation documents.'
  • 4Invite your payment team to the parent folder.
  • 5Test by triggering a failed charge.

Questions about this workflow

Can Notis automatically pull Stripe logs into the investigation folder?

Yes. Notis can create an initial document with Stripe error codes, customer details, and timestamps to jump-start investigation.

What if the same customer has multiple failed charges?

Each failure gets its own folder. This builds a complete history for that customer so you can see patterns.

Should I delete investigation folders after resolving the issue?

You could move them to an archive. Or keep them all active for reference. It's your choice based on your process.
