Keep supporter context close to payment intake
Give yourself the context you need before writing a thoughtful supporter follow-up.
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
Supporter details and payment events can be separated, making personal follow-up harder to compose.
- Keep supporter context attached to a follow-up cue.
- Make later thank-you work easier to pick up.
- Avoid reopening multiple conversations to remember the story.
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 conversationally.
- 3Give Notis one instruction for using a supporter-context DM to cue Ko-fi payment webhook receipt and validation.
- 4Select the direct message received trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real supporter-context DM and payment event.
Questions about this workflow
Does this send a thank-you to the supporter?
No. The available action processes incoming payment webhooks, not outbound messages.
Can the DM trigger include private Slack conversations?
Yes, it catches new direct messages across DM channels.
