Start Ko-fi payment webhook intake from a Slack DM
Capture a payment item shared privately without relying on memory to revisit it.
Trigger
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
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
A payment note shared in a DM can disappear from view before anyone follows up.
- Give privately shared payment updates a clear next step.
- Keep Ko-fi webhook handling tied to the context that raised it.
- Reduce repeated checking across chat and payment tools.
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 tell Notis what outcome you want in plain language.
- 3Write one instruction for how a Slack DM that flags a Ko-fi payment should cue webhook receipt and validation.
- 4Choose the Slack direct message trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test using one real DM and a relevant payment event.
