Turn Telegram Subscription Requests into Live Billing
Customer messages "I want to subscribe" on Telegram. Notis automatically creates the recurring subscription in Stripe with the right plan, trial, and billing cycle—no manual setup.
Trigger
New Message Received
Triggered when your bot receives a new message in a private chat, group, or supergroup. To receive every message in a group, Privacy Mode must be disabled for the bot in BotFather.
Action
Create subscription
Creates a new, highly configurable subscription for an existing stripe customer, supporting multiple items, trials, discounts, and various billing/payment options.
Why this helps
Customers ask to subscribe on Telegram, you jot it down, switch to Stripe, manually configure the subscription, then send confirmation back. Multiple steps and easy to miss details.
- Move customers to billing immediately—no back-and-forth confirmation steps
- Prevent dropped subscriptions from forgotten manual setup
- Configure trial periods and billing intervals directly in your automation instruction
- Reduce cognitive load by automating the entire subscription workflow
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Telegram and Stripe accounts to Notis.
- 2Ask Notis: "When someone says they want to subscribe on Telegram, create a subscription in Stripe using [your product/price ID] with a 7-day trial."
- 3Select "New Message Received" as the trigger and point to your sales or onboarding channel.
- 4Set your notification channel for subscription confirmations.
- 5Test by messaging a subscription request and verify Notis creates it in Stripe with the correct plan and trial.
Questions about this workflow
Can I set different subscription plans based on what the customer says?
Yes. Include the plan name in your Telegram message (e.g., "Subscribe to Starter") and Notis will map it to the corresponding Stripe price in your instruction.
How does Notis handle customer lookup when creating a subscription?
Provide the customer's email in your Telegram message and Notis looks them up or creates a new customer record automatically before setting up the subscription.
What if I need a custom billing cycle for one customer?
Notis follows your automation instruction. Mention custom details in your message (e.g., "quarterly billing") and include that in your instruction so Notis applies it.
