STEP 03

Setup

How to set up the beehiiv subscription.created webhook

  1. Click Install in Studio and sign in. The recipe is added to your account and you get a personal webhook URL.
  2. In beehiiv, go to Settings > Webhooks and add a new webhook (Scale plan or higher).
  3. Paste your webhook URL as the endpoint URL.https://••••••••/•••••••• your personal URL, shown after install
  4. Select the subscription.created event only and save.
  5. Pick **one** of these events, not both, or you'll get two pushes per subscriber:
  6. `subscription.created` (default): fires as soon as someone signs up.
  7. `subscription.confirmed`: fires when they confirm, if your publication uses double opt-in. The push then says "(confirmed)".
  8. beehiiv delivers webhooks through Svix and signs them (`svix-signature`), but JustPush doesn't check that signature yet, so keep your endpoint URL private. Webhooks need the **Scale** plan or higher.
The code

What runs when the webhook arrives

Studio calls handleRequest(request) with the incoming webhook and sends the message it returns. It's yours after install; change anything.

transform.js
1// beehiiv → subscription.created (new subscriber)
2// Fires when someone subscribes to your beehiiv publication. Also accepts
3// subscription.confirmed, for publications that use double opt-in.

11 return typeof value === "string" && value.trim() ? value.trim() : null
12}

14function handleRequest(request) {
15 const body = request.body && typeof request.body === "object" ? request.body : {}
16 const sub = body.data && typeof body.data === "object" ? body.data : null
17
18 // Guard: only new subscriptions, so other beehiiv events on this integration stay quiet.
19 if (!TYPES.has(body.event_type) || !sub) {
20 console.log(`Ignoring beehiiv "${body.event_type ?? "unknown"}" event`)
21 return null
22 }
23
24 const email = text(sub.email) ?? "Someone"
25 // Where they came from: a UTM source beats the referring site.
26 const source = text(sub.utm_source) ?? text(sub.referring_site)
27 const premium = sub.subscription_tier === "premium"
28
29 return {
30 title: premium ? "💎 New premium subscriber" : "📬 New subscriber",
31 message: email + (source ? ` via ${source}` : "") + (body.event_type === "subscription.confirmed" ? " (confirmed)" : ""),
