Track canceled subscriptions in Telegram

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.

  • 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.

emit subscription.canceled
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 Telegram

Message a person, group, or channel through a connected bot.

  1. 01

    connect a bot

    Create a bot with @BotFather and paste its token. We register the webhook and verify it in-region.

  2. 02

    start a chat

    Send /start to the bot from the target chat — or add it to the group/channel — then pick the chat from the list.

  3. 03

    format the text

    Messages use MarkdownV2; the default template bolds the event name and lists fields. Reserved characters in field values are escaped for you.

notes

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.
