Stripe events, straight into Custom Webhook
Every new payment, failed charge, or refund — posted to Custom Webhook the moment it happens. No automation-platform subscription just to relay one webhook.
Why not call Stripe's API directly from your own endpoint? You can — but then you own Stripe's signature verification, retry handling, and payload quirks yourself. ZestyGlue verifies the signature, normalizes the event into a clean JSON body, and POSTs it to your URL — you only write the part that's actually yours.
What it looks like
ZestyGlue
Payment Intent · Succeeded
A real Stripe event, shown as ZestyGlue formats it for Custom Webhook.
Setup — about two minutes
- Create the connector. In ZestyGlue, start a new Stripe → Custom Webhook 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 it at your endpoint. Paste the URL of your own server, script, or automation tool's webhook receiver — no signup, no app to install.
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.

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 write my own server to receive this?
Yes — this destination expects your own endpoint (or a tool like a serverless function, a script, or another automation platform's webhook trigger) to receive the POST. If you don't have one yet, pick one of ZestyGlue's built-in destinations instead.
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.
