Cue Ko-fi webhook handling with a Slack reaction

Mark a message ready with a reaction and keep the payment handoff lightweight.

Trigger

Message Reaction Added

Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.

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 multi-step approval conversation creates extra mental overhead for a small team.

  • Use an existing team signal to cue the next step.
  • Avoid adding a separate manual handoff for every payment note.
  • Keep handling aligned with the message the team reacted to.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Ko-fi to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to draft it conversationally.
  • 3Describe in one plain-language instruction which reacted-to payment notes should cue Ko-fi webhook receipt and validation.
  • 4Select the Slack reaction added trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with one real message and the intended reaction.

Questions about this workflow

Can the trigger be limited to a reaction or channel?

The reaction trigger supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.

Does the reaction itself validate a payment?

No. It starts the workflow; the Ko-fi action receives and validates a payment webhook.
