Run a paid newsletter on Substack and hand each paying subscriber a live Apple Wallet or Google Wallet membership pass — issued automatically.
A few ways teams put Substack and Passmint to work together.
One Zap links the two — live in a few minutes, no code involved.
In Zapier, add Passmint as a connected app and paste your API key when prompted. Zapier verifies it against your account immediately. Use a pmk_test… key while you're setting things up.
Create a new Zap and choose Substack as the trigger app, then pick the trigger that fires when someone becomes a new paid subscriber. Send a test so Zapier learns the subscriber fields available.
TODO(verify): Confirm the exact Substack new-paid-subscriber trigger label and which fields it exposes (email, name, plan/subscription type, status). Note whether free subscribers fire the same trigger.
Add an action step, choose Passmint, and select Create Pass. Pick your membership template from the dropdown — Zapier loads your templates automatically. Map Holder Email and Holder Name from the subscriber's email and name.
In Field Values, map the subscriber's plan and status to your template's matching field names (e.g. plan, status). Run the Zap with your test subscriber, open the resulting pass on a phone, then switch to a pmk_live… key and turn it on.
TODO(verify): Confirm the Substack fields that carry the plan/subscription type and status, and that their values match the field names defined in your Passmint template.
The details teams check before switching the Zap on.
Free for your first passes. No Apple or Google certificates to manage, no code to write.
