    Add a Webhook connected to Substack's new-subscriber event. Confirm the payload includes the email and any name fields.

  2. 2

    Step 2 — Clean the data

    Add a Set node to standardise email and name so the next step is reliable regardless of how Substack formats them.

  3. 3

    Step 3 — Post to Slack

    Add a Slack node to post "🎉 New subscriber: {{ $json.email }}" so the team sees momentum.

Frequently asked questions

Can I do more than one action?

Absolutely — chain extra nodes after Step 3. A common combo is welcome email + log to a sheet + Slack ping, all from the single Substack trigger.

Will it fire for imported contacts?

Depends on Substack's event. Most fire only on genuine new opt-ins; check the trigger's settings if you bulk-import so you don't email an old list.
