Lemon Squeezy events, straight into ntfy
Every sale, refund, or subscription event — posted to ntfy the moment it happens. No ntfy app to install, no monthly automation subscription.
The gap this fills: Lemon Squeezy doesn't ship an official ntfy app. If you want sale, refund, or subscription event to show up in ntfy the moment it happens, the usual options are a paid third-party bot, custom code, or routing everything through a $20–50/month automation platform just to move one webhook from one URL to another. ZestyGlue does exactly that one thing for $9/month.
What it looks like
ZestyGlue
Lemon Squeezy — Order Created
A real Lemon Squeezy event, shown as ZestyGlue formats it for ntfy.
Setup — about two minutes
- Create the connector. In ZestyGlue, start a new Lemon Squeezy → ntfy connector. You'll get a unique webhook URL right away.
- Point Lemon Squeezy at it. Go to Settings → Webhooks → create webhook, paste in your ZestyGlue webhook URL, and select the events you want.
- Copy the signing secret. Lemon Squeezy shows a signing secret for your webhook — paste that into ZestyGlue's connector setup so every event can be verified as genuinely from Lemon Squeezy.
- Point ntfy at ZestyGlue. Pick any topic name — e.g.
https://ntfy.sh/your-secret-topic — enter it into ZestyGlue, and subscribe to that same topic in the ntfy app or web client.
Tip: Lemon Squeezy fires separate events for subscription_created, subscription_payment_success, and subscription_payment_failed — subscribe to all three if you want new sales and renewal failures in the same channel.
Events you can forward
order_created
order_refunded
subscription_created
subscription_cancelled
subscription_payment_success
subscription_payment_failed
Questions
Is my Lemon Squeezy Signing Secret safe with ZestyGlue?
It's encrypted at rest with Fernet symmetric encryption before it ever touches disk, it's never logged, and it's never displayed again in the dashboard after you enter it — only a masked placeholder is shown.
Does this work for both one-time products and subscriptions?
Yes — Lemon Squeezy sends separate event types for one-time orders and subscription lifecycle events, and both flow through the same connector.
Will refunds show up differently from sales?
Yes, refund events use their own event name (order_refunded) and are labeled accordingly, so they don't look like new revenue.
Do I need to self-host ntfy?
No, the free public ntfy.sh server works fine for most people — just pick an unguessable topic name.
What happens if my ZestyGlue subscription lapses?
Events are silently dropped rather than causing errors on Lemon Squeezy's side — Lemon Squeezy never sees a failure response, so it won't retry aggressively or flag your webhook as broken. Your dashboard will simply stop showing new events until you resubscribe.
