HookBell turns webhooks into push notifications on your phone. No code, no Slack bots. Just paste a URL and get real-time alerts when something important happens in your app. WHAT IT DOES Every time a customer signs up, makes a payment, books a meeting, or churns, HookBell sends a push notification to your phone with the details, in plain English. Instead of raw JSON: {"type": "invoice.paid", "data": {"amount": 2900}} You get: "Invoice paid: $29.00 from customer@example.com" HOW IT WORKS 1. Create a connection in HookBell 2. Copy the webhook URL 3. Paste it into your service's webhook settings 4. Done. Notifications start arriving instantly Setup takes less than a minute per service. No SDK, no config files, no polling. SUPPORTED SERVICES • Stripe: payments, subscriptions, failed charges • Clerk: signups, user updates, new sessions • Lemon Squeezy: orders, subscriptions, renewals • Supabase: database inserts, updates, deletes • Cal.com: bookings, cancellations, reschedules • Resend: email sent, delivered, bounced • Polar: orders, sponsorships, subscriptions • Dodo Payments: subscriptions, payments Each service has a built-in parser that understands the payload and formats notifications so they read naturally.
