Track canceled subscriptions in Postgres
Catch every cancellation with the plan, the tenure, and the reason attached — so the team can reach out while the relationship is still warm.

the event
You emit subscription.canceled with this shape. The TypeScript SDK keeps the call type-safe, and the event is stored whole — so every field below is available to the pipeline by name.
- customer_idstring
- planstring
- mrrnumberminor units lost
- reasonstringfree text, optional
- tenure_daysnumber
emit it
From your code with the TypeScript SDK — or any language over the REST endpoint and signed webhook ingress.
import { ingest } from "@ingestlayer/sdk";
await ingest("subscription.canceled", {
customer_id: sub.customer,
plan: sub.plan.nickname,
mrr: sub.plan.amount,
reason: survey.reason,
tenure_days: daysSince(sub.created),
}, {
idempotencyKey: sub.id,
});route it to Postgres
Insert each event as a row into a table in your own Postgres.
- 01
add the connection
Paste a Postgres connection string. Connections originate from our EU region — allowlist those egress IPs on your database.
- 02
point at a table
Name the target table. Top-level event fields map to columns, and the full payload is also available as a jsonb column.
- 03
map columns
Match event fields to columns with $event.* references, or accept the default mapping into a typed events table.
INSERT INTO events.signups
(user_id, email, plan, source, payload)
VALUES
('u_018f', 'ada@acme.com', 'pro',
'marketing-site', '{ … }'::jsonb);notes
- The target table must already exist with compatible column types; ingestlayer never runs DDL on your database.
- Connections come from fixed EU egress IPs — add them to your firewall, or inserts will time out.
- Use a jsonb column for the full payload when your event shape changes often, so a new field never breaks the insert.
questions
- The reason is free text — can I bucket it?
- Yes. classify maps the free-text reason to a typed label your pipeline branches on, so price churn and product churn route to different people.
- Can I alert only above a revenue threshold?
- enrich.entity attaches MRR; a filter then keeps only the cancellations that actually move the number.
- Where do I keep churn history?
- Send every cancellation to Postgres in parallel with the alert, so the churn table is complete regardless of who got pinged.
