Auto-Log Failed Charges to Drive

Stop searching Stripe for failed charges. Each one automatically creates a timestamped audit document in Drive where your whole team can see it and act.

Trigger

Charge Failed Trigger

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

Action

Create a File from Text

Creates a new file in google drive from provided text content (up to 10mb), supporting various formats including automatic conversion to google workspace types.

Why this helps

Failed charges disappear into Stripe. You miss follow-up with customers, and your team has no visibility into payment problems.

  • Every failed charge instantly creates a timestamped record you can find
  • Team gets automatic visibility into payment problems without Slack or email
  • Audit trail builds automatically, no manual entry
  • Reduces time spent searching Stripe for historical failures

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect your Stripe account to Notis (one-time setup in the portal).
  • 2Connect your Google Drive to Notis (one-time setup in the portal).
  • 3Ask Notis: 'When a charge fails in Stripe, create a document in Google Drive with the charge details, customer email, and timestamp.'
  • 4Select a Google Drive folder where failed charge records will be saved, and pick a channel (Telegram, email) for run notifications.
  • 5Test by triggering a failed charge in Stripe and verify the document appears in Drive.

Questions about this workflow

What happens if the same customer's charge fails multiple times?

Each failure creates a separate dated document. This builds a complete history so you can spot repeated issues and reach out proactively.

Can I customize what information goes into the audit document?

Yes. Tell Notis exactly what fields you need: customer email, failure reason, attempted amount, retry schedule, notes for your team. Notis includes all of it automatically.

Will this automation create documents for every failed charge, even duplicates?

Yes. Each failure gets logged separately so you have a complete record. You can review and de-duplicate later if needed, but nothing gets missed.
