Track new subscriptions in Slack

Know the second a customer starts paying — which plan, how much, monthly or annual — so revenue moments reach the team while they still feel like wins.

the event

You emit subscription.created 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
  • planstringpro | scale
  • mrrnumberminor units
  • intervalstringmonth | year
  • trialbooleanconverted from trial

emit it

From your code with the TypeScript SDK — or any language over the REST endpoint and signed webhook ingress.

emit subscription.created
import { ingest } from "@ingestlayer/sdk";

await ingest("subscription.created", {
  customer_id: sub.customer,
  plan:        sub.plan.nickname,
  mrr:         sub.plan.amount,
  interval:    sub.plan.interval,
  trial:       sub.trial_end != null,
}, {
  idempotencyKey: sub.id,
});

route it to Slack

Post to any channel in your workspace. Connect once with OAuth, pick the channel per pipeline.

  1. 01

    connect your workspace

    Authorize the ingestlayer Slack app over OAuth from the destinations page. We hold only a channel-scoped bot token, in-region, in the same KMS as your other credentials.

  2. 02

    pick a channel

    Choose any public channel, or invite the bot to a private one. The channel is set per pipeline, so different events can land in different places.

  3. 03

    map the message

    Reference event fields with $event.* in the message template. The default renders a titled block with the event name and its key fields.

notes

questions

Can I celebrate only the big ones?
Filter on mrr or plan so a #wins channel sees the deals worth celebrating, while everything still streams to your warehouse.
Who owns the account?
enrich.entity attaches the account owner and seat count in flight, so the alert names a person, not just an id.
How is this different from a successful payment?
A subscription.created fires once when the plan starts; payment.succeeded fires every billing cycle. Track both for different signals.
