Let's create a flow bot using the template "Create a Stripe payment link from Notion and send it via Outlook".
How to Create a Stripe Payment Link from Notion and Send it via Outlook
By using a Chrome extension as a trigger, you can receive records from a specific page on a Notion database using Notion's API, and create a payment link in Stripe using Stripe's API. Additionally, you can send the created payment link via email using Outlook's API. Generally, programming knowledge is required to achieve this, but with the no-code tool Yoom, it can be easily accomplished without programming knowledge.
The steps to complete the flow are as follows:
Integrate Notion, Stripe, and Outlook with My Apps
Copy the template
Set up the Notion Chrome extension trigger, configure Stripe, and set up each operation in Outlook
Turn on the trigger

Benefits of Integrating Notion, Stripe, and Outlook
1. Improved Payment Process Efficiency
By creating Stripe payment links in Notion and sending emails with the links attached to customers via Outlook, you can make payment operations more efficient. For example, by generating payment links in Stripe based on customer information managed in Notion and automatically sending emails, you can eliminate manual work and expect a reduction in traditional work time. As operations proceed smoothly, each staff member may be able to make better use of limited resources.
2. Visualization of Payment Handling Status
By utilizing Notion's database functionality, you can consistently perform tasks from creating payment links in Stripe to sending emails in Outlook, making it easy to check the status of payment notifications on the Notion side. For instance, there might be times when you are unsure if you have sent payment links to customers using regular services. By implementing this automation flow, you can send payment link notifications with just an operation from a specific page in Notion, making it easy to understand which customers have received payment notifications, thereby stabilizing cash flow.
3. Prevention of Human Errors
Manual invoice creation and payment link sending can lead to incorrect link entries or customer information sending errors. By integrating Notion, Stripe, and Outlook, tasks are automated, potentially minimizing these human errors. For example, by reflecting accurate data managed in Notion directly in Stripe and sending it via Outlook, you can reduce the risk of misdelivery or information leakage. Managing accurate data can also lead to increased trust from customers.
Conclusion
By incorporating the app integration of Notion, Stripe, and Outlook introduced here into your operations, you can achieve automation and efficiency in payment operations, which are part of daily tasks. Creating payment links based on Notion's database also helps prevent human errors and should contribute to improving the overall productivity of your business.
