Stripe events, straight into ntfy
Every new payment, failed charge, or refund — posted to ntfy the moment it happens. No ntfy app to install, no monthly automation subscription.
The gap this fills: Stripe doesn't ship an official ntfy app. If you want new payment, failed charge, or refund 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
Payment Intent · Succeeded
A real Stripe event, shown as ZestyGlue formats it for ntfy.
Setup — about two minutes
- Create the connector. In ZestyGlue, start a new Stripe → ntfy connector. You'll get a unique webhook URL right away.
- Point Stripe at it. In the Stripe Dashboard, go to Developers → Webhooks → Add endpoint, paste in your ZestyGlue webhook URL, and select the events you want to forward.
- Copy the signing secret. Stripe shows a signing secret for your new endpoint — paste that into ZestyGlue's connector setup so every event can be verified as genuinely from Stripe.
- 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: Subscribe to only the events you need in the Stripe Dashboard — payment_intent.succeeded and charge.refunded cover most “did money move” use cases without flooding your channel with every internal Stripe event.
Events you can forward
payment_intent.succeeded
payment_intent.payment_failed
charge.refunded
customer.subscription.created
customer.subscription.deleted
Questions
Is my Stripe Webhook 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 replace Stripe's own email receipts or Slack app?
No — this runs alongside anything else you already have. It's specifically for getting a live feed into a destination Stripe doesn't natively support well, like Discord, Telegram, or ntfy.
Can I filter to only large payments?
Not at the ZestyGlue level yet — Stripe sends every event type you subscribe to. For most teams, seeing every payment as it happens is exactly the point.
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 Stripe's side — Stripe 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.
