What it does

This workflow monitors the recurring charges your company pays through Stripe (or charges customers on Stripe-billed plans) and detects when a subscription renews at a materially higher amount than its previous cycle. It treats each subscription as its own baseline, so seat-based growth or a plan upgrade can be distinguished from an unexpected spike.

When to use it

Use it when your recurring vendor relationships are billed through Stripe and you want immediate notice the moment a renewal invoice exceeds its normal amount, rather than discovering it on a month-end statement.

How it works

  1. 1Stripe fires an invoice.payment_succeeded event.
  2. 2The workflow fetches the subscription's prior invoice from Stripe to establish the baseline amount.
  3. 3A logic step computes the absolute and percent delta between the two invoices.
  4. 4If the delta clears the configured band (for example more than 5% or more than $50), it routes to an alert; small or expected changes pass through quietly.
  5. 5A Slack message delivers the subscription name, customer, old and new amounts, and the percentage jump to the finance channel for review.
