Get a push notification when someone starts a Lemon Squeezy subscription or free trial.
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_created.
STEP 03
Get a push on your phone
With the text, sound and buttons from the recipe.
How to set up the Lemon Squeezy subscription_created webhook
- Click Install in Studio and sign in. The recipe is added to your account and you get a personal webhook URL.
- In Lemon Squeezy, go to Settings > Webhooks and add a webhook.
- Paste your webhook URL as the callback URL, enter a signing secret, and tick subscription_created.https://••••••••/•••••••• your personal URL, shown after install
- Save. Test mode and live mode have separate webhooks.
- Add a webhook under **Settings → Webhooks** with the URL above and tick `subscription_created`. An `order_created` event fires for the same checkout; subscribe to one or the other if you don't want two pushes.
- 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.
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.
