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 Webhook
POST the processed event as JSON to any HTTPS endpoint you control.
- 01
set the URL
Any HTTPS endpoint. The processed event is delivered as a JSON body on POST.
- 02
choose auth
None, a bearer token, or HMAC signing. Signed requests carry an X-Ingestlayer-Signature header you verify with your shared secret.
- 03
confirm receipt
Return a 2xx within the timeout. Non-2xx responses trigger retries with exponential backoff before the delivery dead-letters.
POST /hooks HTTP/1.1
Host: api.acme.com
Content-Type: application/json
X-Ingestlayer-Signature: t=1717000000,v1=9f86d08…

"payload": { "email": "ada@acme.com", "plan": "pro" }
}notes
- Endpoints must respond within 10 seconds; slower responses are treated as failures and retried.
- Retries use exponential backoff for several attempts before dead-lettering — make your handler idempotent.
- Verify the HMAC signature before trusting a payload; the raw body is signed, so compute the digest before JSON parsing.
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.
