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.

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("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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
- Slack rate-limits to roughly one message per second per channel; bursts are queued and retried, never dropped.
- The bot must be a member of a private channel before it can post there — invite it explicitly.
- Block Kit caps a message at 50 blocks and 3000 characters per text field; oversized events are truncated with a link to the full payload.
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.
