How this automation works

Send Ghost member details to Slack. When your Maker Webhooks endpoint receives a JSON event with an email field, the applet asks Ghost for the member matching that email and posts the member's name, email, status, and tier to the Slack channel you choose. Ideal for site admins and support teams who want member updates from Ghost surfaced in Slack for quick triage and follow-up. Note: Customize the message to fit your tone.
