Grok Bot + Stripe

How a Bot connects

Restricted API key with read-only scopes for reporting; never a secret key with write. Webhooks-to-inbox for events.

The Bot's identity

Stripe team member for the Bot with the Analyst (read-only) role. Don't reuse a human's login. If you did, see shared computer cleanup.

Routines we've run

• Daily — failed payments and disputes: list, draft customer outreach for approval, flag for finance
• Weekly — MRR movement summary with churn reasons drawn from cancellation notes
• On dispute — assemble evidence pack (invoices, comms) into a doc for a human to submit

Each routine follows the four-part shape: when it runs, what it reads (bounded), what it produces, when it stops. See routines best practices.

The thing to gate

Refunds, payouts, and anything with write on charges. Read-only key, full stop.

Verdict

Great as a read-only reporting and triage source. Keep it read-only and it's one of the safest integrations you'll run.

Setup notes

• Test every routine supervised until it's produced the right output three times.
• Add the routine's completion line to your heartbeat log so silent failures show up.
• Put the Stripe token in the Bot's connector settings or knowledge file, never in a chat message.
