# Lemon Squeezy subscription cancelled notifications on your phone

> Get a push notification when a Lemon Squeezy subscription is cancelled, with the date access ends.

- Company: Lemon Squeezy (https://www.justpush.io/recipes/lemonsqueezy)
- Event: `subscription_cancelled` (subscription_cancelled)
- Tags: Finance, Subscriptions
- Install: https://studio.justpush.io/recipes/lemonsqueezy/subscription-cancelled
- Web page: https://www.justpush.io/recipes/lemonsqueezy/subscription-cancelled

## Setup

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 (shown in Studio after install) as the callback URL, enter a signing secret, and tick subscription_cancelled.
4. Save. Test mode and live mode have separate webhooks.
5. Add a webhook under **Settings → Webhooks** with the URL above and tick `subscription_cancelled`. A cancelled subscription stays active until the end of the period.
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.

## Code

Studio calls `handleRequest(request)` with the incoming webhook (`{ method, headers, body, query, raw }`) and sends the message object it returns. Returning `null` sends nothing.

```js
// Lemon Squeezy → subscription cancelled
// Fires when a subscription is cancelled. It stays active until ends_at.
// Docs: https://docs.lemonsqueezy.com/help/webhooks/event-types

// "12 Oct" from an ISO timestamp.
function day(iso) {
    const date = new Date(iso)
    return Number.isNaN(date.getTime())
        ? null
        : date.toLocaleDateString("en-GB", { day: "numeric", month: "short", timeZone: "UTC" })
}

// The event name comes in the X-Event-Name header and in meta.event_name.
// Header names can arrive in any case.
function header(request, name) {
    const headers = request.headers || {}
    const key = Object.keys(headers).find((k) => k.toLowerCase() === name)
    const value = key ? headers[key] : null
    return Array.isArray(value) ? value[0] : value
}

// Lemon Squeezy puts test_mode in meta on real deliveries and in the attributes in its examples.
function testMode(body) {
    return (body.meta?.test_mode ?? body.data?.attributes?.test_mode) === true ? " (test mode)" : ""
}

// Only link to real http(s) URLs.
function link(url, cta) {
    return typeof url === "string" && /^https?:\/\//.test(url) ? [{ cta, url }] : []
}

function handleRequest(request) {
    const body = request.body || {}
    const event = header(request, "x-event-name") ?? body.meta?.event_name
    const order = body.data?.attributes ?? {}

    // Guard: only subscription_cancelled events.
    if (event !== "subscription_cancelled") {
        console.log(`Ignoring Lemon Squeezy "${event ?? "unknown"}" event`)
        return null
    }

    const sub = order
    const until = sub.ends_at && day(sub.ends_at) ? `. Access until ${day(sub.ends_at)}.` : ""

    return {
        title: "👋 Subscription cancelled",
        message: [sub.user_name, sub.product_name].filter(Boolean).join(" — ") + until + testMode(body) || "A subscription was cancelled",
        topic: "Lemon Squeezy",
        priority: 0, // Normal — worth knowing; they keep access until the period ends
    }
}
```
