I Quit Zapier With 20 Lines of Python (Saved $588/Year)

Описание: I was paying Zapier $49/month to send ONE notification when a new lead filled out my contact form. That's $588 a year. So I spent an afternoon and replaced it with 20 lines of Python — completely free, runs on my laptop, and I own it forever.

This is the EXACT script I now use to handle Slack notifications, payment alerts, signups, and any other webhook automation I need. Stripe, Mailchimp, Google Forms, Typeform — anything that sends a webhook works with this.

In this video I show you:
✅ Why Zapier is overpriced for what it actually does
✅ How webhooks work (in plain English)
✅ The full 20-line Python script line by line
✅ Live demo of catching a webhook and pinging Slack
✅ How to extend it for payments, emails, and custom triggers
✅ Why owning your automation matters more than the money
