Webhook Testing

Webhook testing without piecing together three tools

HookNexus gives you a public payload URL, a real-time dashboard, CLI forwarding, and request replay in one workflow so your team can test webhook integrations faster.

What a good webhook testing tool should do

Teams often reach this page after searching for terms like webhook inspector, webhook viewer, or request inspector. The underlying need is usually the same: capture the request, understand it, and keep moving through the workflow without stitching together several tools.

Capture payloads immediately

You should be able to point a provider at one URL and see the next delivery without redeploying or exposing your machine.

Retest without retriggering the provider

Replay dispatch helps you validate fixes against real traffic when the original event is hard to reproduce.

Work with local code

CLI forwarding closes the gap between a cloud endpoint and your localhost route.

Support multiple providers

HookNexus already ships docs and guides for Stripe, GitHub, Shopify, Slack, and generic webhook senders.

When a request bin stops being enough

A basic inbox helps you see that a webhook arrived. A testing workflow helps you inspect it, compare it, and run it through your own code.

When replay saves time

Replay matters once your original event is difficult to recreate or you want to validate a fix without touching the provider again.

When localhost matters

If your handler is still running locally, the workflow is not complete until the captured request can reach your local route with minimal setup.

FAQ

Can I use HookNexus for generic HTTP callbacks?

Yes. It works with common providers such as Stripe, GitHub, Shopify, and Slack, but it is also useful when you just need a public URL for any webhook-style HTTP request.

Do I need to deploy my app before testing?

No. You can capture the request first, inspect it in the dashboard, and then forward it into localhost if your app is still running locally.

Should I start with Learn or with this page?

Start here if you want the product overview first. Start with Learn if you already know the provider or workflow you are trying to debug.
