What is it?

About Recharge

Recharge is one of the Billing / Subscriptions / Tax platforms BeforeQuery connects to. Once linked, the platform's data becomes a first-class source for grounded AI answers and a target for policy-gated agent actions — the same identity, approval, and audit-log guarantees every other integration ships with.

Setup

  1. Step 01

    In the BeforeQuery dashboard, go to Integrations → Billing / Subscriptions / Tax and select Recharge.

  2. Step 02

    Sign in to Recharge with an account that has permissions to grant BeforeQuery the Billing / Subscriptions / Tax scopes required.

  3. Step 03

    Confirm the connection. Recharge is now available as a source and action target for every playbook in your workspace.

Use cases

What teams actually do with the Recharge integration

Customer billing Q&A

Customer asks in-app: "why was I charged $X?" → BeforeQuery pulls the Recharge invoice, explains the line items in plain language, and offers self-serve refund/credit options if policy allows.

Failed-payment recovery

Recharge reports a failed charge → BeforeQuery emails the customer with an update-payment link, retries per your dunning schedule, and escalates to CS + AE if the account is high-value.

Refund workflow

Support agent needs to issue a refund → BeforeQuery pulls Recharge charge details, applies your refund policy, routes to finance approver above the threshold, executes the refund, and posts a confirmation to the customer.

Answer questions grounded in Recharge

Employees and customers ask Recharge-related questions in Slack, Teams, or the widget — BeforeQuery answers with the exact Recharge record shown alongside the response. No context switching, no "log into Billing / Subscriptions / Tax to check" round-trips.

Recharge — Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about connecting BeforeQuery to Recharge.

Refunds under a configurable threshold (e.g., $50) can be autopilot for known-good customer patterns. All refunds are logged with the acting agent, the reason, the specific Recharge charge, and are reversible only via a re-charge (visible to the customer).
Standard OAuth 2.0 where Recharge supports it, otherwise API-key or bearer-token auth. Credentials are stored encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM) per workspace, never shared across customers, and rotated on request. The connection is scoped to the least-privilege set of scopes each playbook needs — you approve the scope list on install.
No. Your Recharge data feeds only your workspace's own agents and answers. Nothing is used to train a shared model, and nothing crosses workspace boundaries. Bring-your-own-model is available on Enterprise if you want to pin inference to your own OpenAI / Anthropic / self-hosted deployment.
Yes. Every Recharge integration is scoped at install time — you pick which resources, users, or record types are visible. You can further restrict per-playbook: a single playbook only touches the specific Recharge objects it needs. Scope changes take effect on the next sync.
Every write is logged with the acting user, the playbook that fired it, the exact operation, the target entity IDs, and the timestamp — all in the immutable audit log. Writes are rehearsable in simulation mode against a copy of live data before they touch Recharge for real.
