Automate Gmail + Stripe
The inbox most operations still start in. Payments, subscriptions and the events behind revenue. Put an agent between them and the hand-off stops being manual: it reads, decides, acts, and shows its work.
Inbox Triage is a ready-made agent built around Gmail; point its last step at Stripe to finish this hand-off.
Automations teams run
These are not field mappings. An agent reads the Gmail side, works out what it means, and only then decides what — if anything — should happen in Stripe.
When a new email arrives in Gmail…
…an agent can look up customers and charges in Stripe — after reading the context and deciding it should.
When a label is applied in Gmail…
…an agent can summarise revenue activity in Stripe — after reading the context and deciding it should.
When a thread goes unanswered in Gmail…
…an agent can flag anomalies in Stripe — after reading the context and deciding it should.
When a payment succeeds or fails in Stripe…
…an agent can send or draft a reply in Gmail — with the reasoning recorded in the run’s receipt.
When a subscription changes in Stripe…
…an agent can apply labels and archive in Gmail — with the reasoning recorded in the run’s receipt.
When a dispute opens in Stripe…
…an agent can extract attachments and fields in Gmail — with the reasoning recorded in the run’s receipt.
The Gmail and Stripe hand-off, setup template
Start with the gmail-api node and the stripe-invoice node. Configure the Gmail source payload, the agent input, and the Stripe operation. The sequential template does not implement conditional writes or approval by itself.
This is a schema-checked starting point, not an end-to-end tested automation. Replace every CONFIGURE_ value, choose the operations you intend, connect credentials and map source outputs into later inputs. An edge orders steps; it does not supply a condition, an approval gate or a field mapping. Add and test those controls explicitly before any write. Cloud APIs and model providers may receive data. Keep the workflow inactive until tested with fixtures.

Install Inbox Triage
Inbox Triage is a working agent built around Gmail. Install it, point its last step at Stripe, and you have this hand-off without building it from an empty canvas.
Runs on your own machine · See what it does
Build it in AGNT
- Get AGNT Community Core. Free, local, no sign-up needed to run a workflow.
- Add both connections to the vault — Gmail takes one OAuth sign-in, Stripe takes an API key pasted into the vault.
- Configure the nodes above, or start from a marketplace workflow and edit it. The agent in the middle is the part worth spending time on.
- Run it once with an approval gate in place. The receipt tells you what it read, what it concluded, and what it changed in Stripe.
Gmail and Stripe — common questions
Can I connect Gmail to Stripe without writing code?
Yes. Gmail connects with one OAuth sign-in and Stripe with an API key pasted into the vault, both from the local credential vault. You then describe the job in plain language — “when a new email arrives, look up customers and charges” — and the agent handles the rest.
How is this different from a field-mapping Gmail to Stripe automation?
A field mapping copies values and breaks on the first record nobody anticipated. The middle step here reads the Gmail item in full and decides — whether it matters, how to summarise it, and what belongs in Stripe. Deciding to do nothing is a valid outcome, which no mapping can express.
Does my Gmail and Stripe data leave my machine?
Your credentials stay in a vault on your own disk rather than in someone else’s cloud. The only calls made are the ones the workflow needs: Gmail, Stripe, and your chosen model provider — which can be a local one.
What does a Gmail and Stripe run leave behind?
A receipt: what was read in Gmail, which tools ran with which arguments, what the agent concluded, and what it wrote to Stripe. Anything consequential can sit behind an approval gate so a person signs off before it happens.
