How it works

Three steps to your first push

STEP 01

Install the recipe

One click in Studio gives you a personal webhook URL.

STEP 02

Paste your URL into beehiiv

Add it as a webhook for subscription.upgraded.

STEP 03

Get a push on your phone

With the text, sound and buttons from the recipe.

Setup

How to set up the beehiiv subscription.upgraded 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.upgraded event only and save.
  5. Select only `subscription.upgraded`. beehiiv sends `subscription.downgraded` when someone drops back to free; this recipe ignores it.
  6. 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
