Twitch events, straight into Slack
Every follow, subscription, or stream going live — posted to Slack the moment it happens. No $20+/month automation plan just to move one webhook.
Why not just use Slack's built-in options? Even where Twitch offers some form of Slack integration, it's often tied to one account, limited in which events it covers, or more than you need. ZestyGlue is a dedicated, always-on feed of exactly the events you choose, for $9/month instead of a full automation-platform subscription.

A real Twitch event, shown as ZestyGlue formats it for Slack.
Setup — about two minutes
- Create the connector. In ZestyGlue, start a new Twitch → Slack connector. You'll get a unique webhook URL right away.
- Point Twitch at it. Create an EventSub subscription via the Twitch API with transport.method set to webhook and transport.callback set to your ZestyGlue webhook URL.
- Set the transport secret. Use the same secret you set as transport.secret when creating the subscription — enter it into ZestyGlue so every event can be verified as genuinely from Twitch. Twitch's one-time verification handshake is handled automatically.
- Point Slack at ZestyGlue. Create a Slack app (or reuse one) → Incoming Webhooks → Add New Webhook to Workspace, pick the channel, and copy the URL into ZestyGlue.
Under the hood: Twitch requires a one-time verification handshake when you create an EventSub subscription — ZestyGlue answers it automatically, so the only manual step is creating the subscription itself.

Questions
Is my EventSub 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.
Do I need to be a Twitch Affiliate or Partner to use EventSub?
No — EventSub webhook subscriptions are available to any Twitch account with a registered application; affiliate/partner status isn't required for events like follows.
Does the verification handshake need to happen every time?
No, just once when you first create the subscription — ZestyGlue answers it automatically.
Does this need Slack admin approval?
No app installation is required on Slack's side — an Incoming Webhook is just a URL generated once. No OAuth review, no admin approval flow.
What happens if my ZestyGlue subscription lapses?
Events are silently dropped rather than causing errors on Twitch's side — Twitch 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.
