AI agent that triages suspicious charges and flags them for review
Each successful Stripe charge goes to an AI agent that writes a short risk note and posts it to your Slack review channel, and the charge’s email and amount are logged in Airtable.

What this workflow does
Small teams rarely have someone watching every payment. A second look at each charge, written in plain words and placed where the team already talks, makes an odd amount or a strange email easier to spot. This workflow gives each Stripe charge that quick review.
The Stripe trigger fires when a charge succeeds. FlowMattic hands the customer's email, the amount and the currency to the AI Agent, whose instructions ask it to check for basic risk signals such as an unusual amount, write a one-paragraph risk note, and post it to your review channel. Its one tool is Slack's Send Channel Message, and the agent writes the message text.
Then an Airtable step creates a record with the charge's email and amount, so you have a table of every charge the agent looked at. Keep in mind the agent only sees those three values as imported. It is a prompt for a human to look, not a fraud decision, and it does not block or refund anything.
Online course seller
A course creator sees a note in Slack for each sale and notices when several charges arrive from throwaway-looking addresses.
Agency retainers
An agency expects a few charges of known amounts each month. A note on a charge that does not fit the pattern prompts someone to check it in Stripe.
Building a review log
The Airtable base becomes a list of charges your team can mark as checked, with the Slack note giving the reason to look.

After importing, map your own data. To keep the template universal, not every step is pre-filled. Open each step in the builder and connect your accounts and fields (channels, lists, sheets, recipients) before you switch the workflow on.
Make it yours
Changes worth making after you import it.
- Add more Stripe fields to the agent's input, such as the card country or billing details, if your trigger provides them. With only email and amount the agent has little to go on.
- Map the agent's response into an extra Airtable field so the risk note is saved alongside the email and amount, not only in Slack.
- Add a Filter after the trigger that continues only above a set amount, if small charges are not worth a review.
Questions about this workflow
Does this block or refund risky charges?
No. The charge has already succeeded. The workflow only posts a note and logs a record, and any action is up to your team in Stripe.
Does every charge get a Slack note?
Yes, as imported. The agent is told to write a note and post it for each charge. Change its instructions if you only want notes for charges it rates as risky.
Is the amount shown in my currency's main unit?
Stripe reports amounts in the smallest unit, such as cents. Check a test run, and tell the agent in its instructions to convert before writing the note.
Which AI model is set up?
The template uses OpenAI's GPT-4o. Connect your own provider account on import, or pick a different model in the agent step.
