Issue Comments Trigger Refunds
A customer comments 'refund requested' on a GitHub issue. Notis instantly creates that refund in Stripe. No back-and-forth needed.
Trigger
New GitHub Issue Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specific GitHub issue. Only genuinely new comments are emitted; edits to existing comments do not produce duplicate events. The payload includes the comment ID, text body, author details, timestamps, and direct links to the comment on GitHub.
Action
Create Refund
Creates a full or partial refund in stripe, targeting either a specific charge id or a payment intent id.
Why this helps
Refund requests are buried in issue comments. Manual refund processing takes hours. Back-and-forth over payment issues is exhausting.
- Refund requests are acted on instantly
- Customers feel heard and trusted
- Reduces support back-and-forth
- Refunds are tracked in both systems
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Stripe.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a comment on an issue contains refund requested, create a refund in Stripe for the original charge on that issue.'
- 3Set trigger to 'New GitHub Issue Comment' and choose your channel.
- 4Test by commenting 'refund requested' on an invoiced issue and verifying the refund appears in Stripe.
Questions about this workflow
How much should the refund be?
Full refund by default. Tell Notis to ask for a specific amount: 'prompt for the refund amount if the comment doesn't specify a dollar figure.'
What if there's no charge to refund?
Notis checks Stripe first. If no charge exists, it reports 'no charge found' instead of creating a refund.
Can I approve refunds before they're created?
Yes. Set it to wait: 'create a pending refund and notify me for approval before finalizing.'

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Stripe. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Stripe actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Cancel subscription
Cancels a customer's active stripe subscription at the end of the current billing period, with options to invoice immediately for metered usage and prorate charges for unused time.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Confirm payment intent
Confirms a stripe paymentintent to finalize a payment; a `return url` is necessary if the payment method requires customer redirection.
New Workflow Artifact Created
Triggers when a new workflow artifact is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors for newly created GitHub Actions workflow artifacts. Optionally filters by artifact name to restrict monitoring to specific artifacts.
Create Customer
Creates a new customer in stripe, required for creating charges or subscriptions; an email is highly recommended for customer communications.
Branch Changed
Triggers when a GitHub branch changes. Monitors a specific branch for: - New commits pushed (head commit SHA changes) - Protection status toggled (branch becomes protected or unprotected) - Protection settings changed, including: required status checks and their enforcement level, admin enforcement, required pull request reviews (dismiss stale reviews, code owner reviews, approving review count, last push approval), required linear history, force push allowance, deletion allowance, conversation resolution, branch locking, and fork syncing.
Create an invoice
Creates a new draft stripe invoice for a customer; use to revise an existing invoice, bill for a specific subscription (which must belong to the customer), or apply detailed customizations.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Create payment intent
Creates a stripe paymentintent to initiate and process a customer's payment; using `application fee amount` for a connected account requires the `stripe-account` header.
Check Run Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub check run changes its status or conclusion. Monitors a single check run for changes to: status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.), conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required), started_at, and completed_at.
Create a price
Creates a new stripe price for a product, defining its charges (one-time or recurring) and billing scheme; requires either an existing `product` id or `product data`.
Check Suite Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a GitHub check suite changes its status or conclusion for a given ref. Monitors all check suites associated with a git reference (branch, tag, or commit SHA) for changes to status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.) and conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required, startup_failure, stale). Optionally filters by GitHub App ID.
Create product
Creates a new product in stripe, encoding the request as `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` by flattening nested structures.
New Code Scanning Alert Created
Triggers when a new code scanning alert is created in a repository. Fires an event for each newly created code scanning alert detected in the configured repository. Alerts can be filtered by Git reference, scanning tool, state, and severity. The payload includes the alert number, rule details, tool information, state, severity, and the location of the most recent instance.
Create Refund
Creates a full or partial refund in stripe, targeting either a specific charge id or a payment intent id.
