Would you use a simple API that texts you when a new customer signs up? 🎉
I recently launched a new product, did some light marketing, and then spent a few days refreshing the database to see if I had any new paying user. This was painful and I just thought of how much better it would be if I just had a very simple api that texted me when I had a new paying user sign up.
EX. A request to https://newuserjoy.com/?number=5555555555
would send you a text saying "🎉Hooray! You have a new customer"
Very simple. What do you guys think?

Enable Stripe notifications on your phone. It's the best feeling.
Thank you! Now set this up.
Some use slack notifications
I’d just use zapier.
zapier is garbage
I am using Telegram API to do just that. It is relatively easy to setup just for this very purpose.
you identified a good problem, but the solution needs more thinking. people have built businesses around this concept. an example here https://cashnotify.com/
I would use it. I wouldn't pay for it :)
