Block Stripe Vendor Payouts on Contract Overage

What it does
This workflow inserts a contract check directly in front of outgoing payment. When a vendor payout is staged in Stripe, it cross-references the underlying invoice total against the contracted amount in Airtable. If the invoice is within terms, the payout proceeds. If it overshoots the contract, the payout is held and the finance owner is alerted with the exact overage so money never leaves before the discrepancy is resolved.
When to use it
Use this when you pay vendors via Stripe and want a final automated guardrail at the payment layer — catching overbilling even if it slipped past invoice intake review.
How it works
- 1A pending payout or transfer event in Stripe triggers the run.
- 2The associated invoice metadata and total are read from the Stripe object.
- 3The contracted amount for that vendor is fetched from Airtable.
- 4A logic step decides whether the payout is within contract terms.
- 5In-terms payouts are released to proceed.
- 6Over-terms payouts are held and a blocking alert with the overage detail is sent to finance via Outlook.
