Setup Guide: Ingesting Mobile In-App Telemetry
You can connect directly to Apple App Store Connect and Google Play, or pipe your existing RevenueCat webhooks into Indic8.
If you already use RevenueCat’s client SDKs, simply configure a Webhook integration in your RevenueCat project dashboard pointing to your Indic8 endpoint. Indic8 will listen to initial purchases, renewals, and cancellations in real time.
Cut out intermediaries entirely. Configure Apple App Store Server Notifications v2 and Google Cloud Pub/Sub topics to push subscription events directly to your self-hosted Indic8 instance with zero commission.
