The gap this fills: Supabase doesn't ship an official ntfy app. If you want database row change 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
Supabase — Orders Insert
A real Supabase event, shown as ZestyGlue formats it for ntfy.
Setup — about two minutes
- Create the connector. In ZestyGlue, start a new Supabase → ntfy connector. You'll get a unique webhook URL right away.
- Point Supabase at it. In your project, go to Database → Webhooks → Create a new hook, pick a table and events, and paste in your ZestyGlue webhook URL.
- (Optional) add a shared token. Add a custom HTTP header named
x-webhook-token with any value you choose, and enter the same value into ZestyGlue for extra verification — not required to get started.
- 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.
Under the hood: Supabase Database Webhooks fire directly from Postgres triggers, so events arrive within milliseconds of the actual row change — there's no polling delay anywhere in the pipeline.
Events you can forward
INSERT
UPDATE
DELETE
Questions
Is my Shared Token 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 with Supabase's free tier?
Yes, Database Webhooks are available on Supabase's free plan.
Can I watch multiple tables with one connector?
Each Supabase webhook is scoped to one table's events, so create a separate ZestyGlue connector per table — you can still point several at the same destination.
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 Supabase's side — Supabase 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.
