What they did
Tired of refreshing the Stripe dashboard, a builder made an n8n workflow: each paid order is duplicate-checked, added as a row in Google Sheets and sent to Telegram. Tested with USD, EUR, HUF, JPY and KWD.
Result (as claimed)
Packaged as a paid template.
Tools they used
Cost: n8n: free plan, paid from €20/mo; Stripe: free plan, paid from 2.9% + 30¢; Telegram Bot API: from See pricing.
Set it up
Gather the documents
Collect statements, bills, invoices or tax documents for the period you want reviewed.
Ask for an audit, not actions
Have n8n list findings, amounts and suggested next steps before it does anything.
Approve each action
Approve cancellations, disputes or payments one at a time. Never give an agent open-ended access to move money.
Track the result
Record what changed and what you saved so you can check it next month. This is not financial advice.
Copy the full setup prompt
Paste into your agent and it will walk you through the setup, asking before anything that sends, posts or spends.
