Track successful payments in Slack

Surface the payments that matter — a big invoice cleared, an annual renewed — without drowning the channel in every routine charge.

the event

You emit payment.succeeded 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
  • amountnumberminor units
  • currencystringISO 4217
  • invoice_idstring
  • methodstringcard | sepa | invoice

emit it

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

emit payment.succeeded
import { ingest } from "@ingestlayer/sdk";

await ingest("payment.succeeded", {
  customer_id: charge.customer,
  amount:      charge.amount,
  currency:    charge.currency,
  invoice_id:  charge.invoice,
  method:      charge.payment_method_type,
}, {
  idempotencyKey: charge.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

How do I keep the channel quiet?
Filter on amount so routine charges pass silently to the warehouse, while only large payments reach a human.
Can I split by currency?
Branch on the currency field to route EU and US revenue to different channels or owners.
Will retries double-count?
No. The charge id as idempotencyKey collapses retries, so one cleared payment is one event.
