Just finished building a Payment Fail Recovery Agent — and this thing straight up behaves like a billing assistant I never hired
Here’s how the system works:
1. Stripe Trigger
The agent wakes up instantly when a payment fails.
No delay, no manual checking.
2. Customer Lookup
It fetches:
customer name
email
subscription ID
invoice data
So every action is personalized.
3. Auto-Retry Engine
Before sending anything, the agent tries the charge again automatically.
This alone recovers a surprising % of failed payments.
4. Smart Email Logic
Depending on what happens:
✓ Retry Succeeds
The customer gets a clean “Payment Successful” email.
✓ Retry Fails
Agent sends a fresh payment link + instructions.
✓ Payment STILL Fails
A final warning email is sent with:
urgency
link to update card
subscription details
support contact
No more chasing people manually.
5. Fully Automated Billing Recovery
The entire sequence runs without a single touch from you — saving revenue that normally slips away silently.
