Transformation Code Examples

​
Basic Payment Notifications

This transformation sends simple text messages for payment events:
payment_notifs.js
function handler(webhook) {
  switch (webhook.eventType) {
    case "payment.succeeded":
      webhook.payload = {
        text: `✅ Payment Successful\nAmount: $${webhook.payload.data.total_amount}\nCustomer: ${webhook.payload.data.customer.email}\nPayment ID: ${webhook.payload.data.payment_id}`
      };
      break;
      
    case "payment.failed":
      webhook.payload = {
        text: `❌ Payment Failed\nAmount: $${webhook.payload.data.total_amount}\nCustomer: ${webhook.payload.data.customer.email}\nReason: ${webhook.payload.data.error_message || 'Unknown'}`
      };
      break;
      
    case "payment.processing":
      webhook.payload = {
        text: `⏳ Payment Processing\nAmount: $${webhook.payload.data.total_amount}\nCustomer: ${webhook.payload.data.customer.email}`
      };
      break;
  }

  return webhook;
}

​
Rich Subscription Notifications

This transformation creates rich Slack messages with attachments for subscription events:
subscription_notifs.js
function handler(webhook) {
  switch (webhook.eventType) {
    case "subscription.active":
      webhook.payload = {
        attachments: [{
          color: "good",
          title: "🎉 Subscription Activated",
          fields: [
            {
              title: "Customer",
              value: webhook.payload.data.customer.email,
              short: true
            },
            {
              title: "Product ID",
              value: webhook.payload.data.product_id,
              short: true
            },
            {
              title: "Amount",
              value: `$${webhook.payload.data.recurring_pre_tax_amount}/${webhook.payload.data.payment_frequency_interval}`,
              short: true
            },
            {
              title: "Next Billing",
              value: new Date(webhook.payload.data.next_billing_date).toLocaleDateString(),
              short: true
            }
          ],
          footer: "Dodo Payments",
          ts: Math.floor(new Date(webhook.payload.timestamp).getTime() / 1000)
        }]
      };
      break;
      
    case "subscription.cancelled":
      webhook.payload = {
        attachments: [{
          color: "warning",
          title: "⚠️ Subscription Cancelled",
          fields: [
            {

              value: webhook.payload.data.product_id,
              short: true
            },
            {
              title: "Cancellation Date",
              value: new Date(webhook.payload.data.cancelled_at).toLocaleDateString(),
              short: true
            },
            {
              title: "Cancel at Next Billing",
              value: webhook.payload.data.cancel_at_next_billing_date ? "Yes" : "No",
              short: true
            }
          ],
          footer: "Dodo Payments",
          ts: Math.floor(new Date(webhook.payload.timestamp).getTime() / 1000)
        }]
      };
      break;
      
    case "subscription.renewed":

          title: "🔄 Subscription Renewed",
          fields: [
            {

              value: webhook.payload.data.customer.email,
              short: true
            },
            {
              title: "Product ID",
              value: webhook.payload.data.product_id,
              short: true
            },

        }]
      };
      break;

Dispute Management Notifications

This transformation handles dispute events with appropriate colors and urgency:
dispute_notifs.js
function handler(webhook) {
  switch (webhook.eventType) {
    case "dispute.opened":
      webhook.payload = {
        attachments: [{

Comprehensive All-Events Handler

This transformation handles all event types with consistent formatting:
all_events_notifs.js
function handler(webhook) {
  const event = webhook.payload.data;
  const timestamp = new Date(webhook.payload.timestamp).toLocaleString();
  
  let color, emoji, title, fields = [];
  
  switch (webhook.eventType) {

      color = "good";
      emoji = "✅";
      title = "Payment Successful";

      ];
      break;
      
    case "refund.succeeded":
      color = "good";
      emoji = "💰";
      title = "Refund Processed";
      fields = [
        { title: "Amount", value: `$${event.amount}`, short: true },

      ];
      break;
      
    case "license_key.created":
      color = "good";
      emoji = "🔑";
      title = "License Key Created";
      fields = [
        { title: "License ID", value: event.id, short: true },
        { title: "Product ID", value: event.product_id, short: true },
        { title: "License Key", value: event.key.substring(0, 8) + "...", short: true },
        { title: "Expires", value: event.expires_at ? new Date(event.expires_at).toLocaleDateString() : "Never", short: true }
      ];

      fields: fields,
      footer: "Dodo Payments",

  return webhook;
}

Best Practices

To make your Slack notifications effective:
  • Use rich message attachments with colors, fields, and formatting for clarity and actionability.
  • Always include key data such as amounts, customer emails, and IDs for quick identification.
  • Choose colors that match the event type: green (good) for success, red (danger) for disputes or failures, yellow (warning) for cancellations, and blue (#36a64f) for informational events.
  • Add timestamps to help track when each event occurred.
Handle Sensitive Data: Be careful not to include sensitive information like full license keys or personal data in Slack messages. Consider truncating or masking sensitive values.
