Ko-fi
When a fan buys your art, tips you for a video, or subscribes monthly, your AI agent receives the Ko-fi payment webhook instantly. It identifies the supporter, recognizes the payment type, and triggers a personalized thank-you, all before you even check your notifications. Supporters feel valued and your community grows stronger.




Your AI agent processes Ko-fi payment events as they happen, turning every donation, membership, shop order, and commission into an automated, personal response.
Ko-fi
Real scenarios where AI processes Ko-fi payments the instant they happen, turning supporters into engaged community members without manual effort.
A viewer watches your YouTube tutorial and sends you a $5 Ko-fi tip with the message 'Great video, thanks!' Your AI Agent receives the webhook, extracts the supporter's name and message, and sends a personalized thank-you in your community Discord or via email. The supporter feels seen and appreciated within seconds of paying. Your engagement deepens without you interrupting your creative workflow.
A fan subscribes to your Ko-fi Gold membership. The webhook hits your AI Agent, which identifies the payment as a new subscription (not a renewal). The agent sends a welcome message with links to exclusive content, adds the member to your premium community channel, and logs their start date. Your onboarding happens automatically, and new members get value from minute one.
An artist receives a commission request through Ko-fi for a custom portrait. The AI Agent processes the webhook, extracts the order details and the buyer's message describing what they want, and sends a confirmation with your standard turnaround time and revision policy. The buyer knows their request was received, and you have a structured intake log waiting for your review.

FAQs
The agent processes all Ko-fi webhook payment types: one-time donations (coffees), recurring memberships (subscriptions), shop purchases, and commission payments. Each type is identified through the webhook payload's 'type' field, and the agent can apply different logic to each payment category.
Ko-fi sends an HTTP POST request to a configured URL whenever a payment is made. You set this URL in your Ko-fi account settings under the webhook section. The Tars agent receives the payload containing supporter name, email, amount, currency, payment type, and any attached message, then acts on it in real time.
Yes. The Ko-fi webhook payload includes an is_first_subscription_payment field. The agent checks this flag to determine whether to trigger a welcome flow for new members or a renewal acknowledgment for existing subscribers. Each scenario can have completely different automated responses.
Yes. The webhook payload includes the supporter's email, name, and a unique transaction verification token. The agent uses this information to personalize responses, match supporters to existing records in your CRM or email list, and verify the authenticity of the webhook using the verification token.
Yes. When a shop purchase webhook arrives, the agent can parse the item details and trigger a delivery action, such as sending a download link, granting access to a members-only page, or adding the buyer to a specific email sequence. This works well for digital art packs, templates, e-books, and other downloadable products.
Ko-fi's API is currently webhook-only, meaning it sends payment events to you but does not support querying past transactions or managing your page settings via API. The agent processes events as they happen in real time. For historical data, you would still use Ko-fi's dashboard. The agent excels at real-time automation, not historical reporting.
Zapier triggers simple actions from Ko-fi events but cannot hold conversations. Tars processes the Ko-fi webhook and uses the data within an interactive AI conversation. Your agent can ask follow-up questions, personalize responses based on payment amount, and combine Ko-fi data with other tools in a single conversational flow.
Tars receives the webhook payload to process the event but does not store credit card numbers or financial details. Ko-fi handles all payment processing. The webhook contains supporter names, emails, amounts, and messages, which are handled according to your Tars data retention settings.
