How to get Slack notifications for new Paddle subscriptions

The first thing to do after creating a new automation is adding a trigger for Paddle's 'Subscription started' event.

You may then apply optional filters to the Trigger. For example, if you only want to send notifications whenever a new trial subscription is started, you can add a filter to only trigger new runs when the Status of a new subscription is set to Trial.

Of course there are many other filters you could apply.

Next, add a step to send a Slack message. You can send messages to either a channel or a DM by picking the relevant specific step type.

It's very easy to reference information about the Paddle subscription in your Slack message. Simply click [+ data] and select the fields you want to use. For example, the email address of the customer.

Finally, it's time to turn on your new automation. From now on, you'll receive a Slack notification every time a customer starts a new subscription in Paddle! 🙌
