Keep Ko-fi payment exceptions moving from Slack
Give unusual payment cases one visible place to start follow-up.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action
Receive Ko-fi payment webhook
Receives and validates Ko-fi payment webhook events. Use this to process real-time notifications for donations, subscriptions, commissions, and shop orders from Ko-fi. The webhook includes payment details, supporter information, and transaction metadata. Returns validated payment data to confirm receipt (Ko-fi expects 200 OK to prevent retries).
Why this helps
Exceptions take extra attention and are easy to postpone while routine work piles up.
- Make unusual cases easier to spot and revisit.
- Connect the exception note to validated payment data.
- Reduce the effort of remembering a one-off follow-up.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Ko-fi to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3Describe one instruction for how a payment exception in Slack should cue Ko-fi webhook receipt and validation.
- 4Choose the channel message trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real exception note and related webhook.
