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 Lemon Squeezy

Add it as a webhook for subscription_payment_failed.

STEP 03

Get a push on your phone

With the text, sound and buttons from the recipe.

Setup

How to set up the Lemon Squeezy subscription_payment_failed 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 Lemon Squeezy, go to Settings > Webhooks and add a webhook.
  3. Paste your webhook URL as the callback URL, enter a signing secret, and tick subscription_payment_failed.https://••••••••/•••••••• your personal URL, shown after install
  4. Save. Test mode and live mode have separate webhooks.
  5. Add a webhook under **Settings → Webhooks** with the URL above and tick `subscription_payment_failed`. Lemon Squeezy retries failed payments automatically.
  6. Lemon Squeezy signs deliveries with `X-Signature` (HMAC-SHA256 of your signing secret), but JustPush doesn't check it yet, so keep your endpoint URL private.
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// Lemon Squeezy → subscription payment failed
2// Fires when a renewal payment fails. Lemon Squeezy retries it automatically.
3// Docs: https://docs.lemonsqueezy.com/help/webhooks/event-types
4
5// The event name comes in the X-Event-Name header and in meta.event_name.
6// Header names can arrive in any case.
7function header(request, name) {
8 const headers = request.headers || {}
9 const key = Object.keys(headers).find((k) => k.toLowerCase() === name)
10 const value = key ? headers[key] : null
11 return Array.isArray(value) ? value[0] : value
12}
13
14// Lemon Squeezy puts test_mode in meta on real deliveries and in the attributes in its examples.
15function testMode(body) {
16 return (body.meta?.test_mode ?? body.data?.attributes?.test_mode) === true ? " (test mode)" : ""
17}
18
19// Only link to real http(s) URLs.
20function link(url, cta) {
21 return typeof url === "string" && /^https?:\/\//.test(url) ? [{ cta, url }] : []
22}
23
24function handleRequest(request) {
25 const body = request.body || {}
26 const event = header(request, "x-event-name") ?? body.meta?.event_name
27 const order = body.data?.attributes ?? {}
28
29 // Guard: only subscription_payment_failed events.
30 if (event !== "subscription_payment_failed") {
31 console.log(`Ignoring Lemon Squeezy "${event ?? "unknown"}" event`)
32 return null
33 }
34
35 // Payment events carry a subscription invoice, not the subscription itself.
36 const invoice = order
37 const card = invoice.card_last_four ? ` (${invoice.card_brand ?? "card"} ••${invoice.card_last_four})` : ""
38
39 return {
40 title: "⚠️ Subscription payment failed",
41 message:
