Managing Webhooks

Once you've added platforms to your library, you can start managing and simulating webhooks. This page will guide you through the process of working with webhooks in Webhook Simulator.

Webhook URLs

For each platform in your library, Webhook Simulator generates a unique webhook URL. This URL serves receiving real events purpose. You can use this URL in the actual platform's webhook settings to receive real events.

To view or copy a webhook URL:

1. Go to your dashboard
2. Find the platform in your library
3. Click on "View Webhook URL"

Simulating Webhook Events

To simulate a webhook event:

1. Go to your dashboard and select a platform from your library
2. Click on "View Live Logs"
3. In the live logs page, you'll see a "Generate & Send Simulated Data" button. Click it.
4. Choose an event type
5. Select one of the pre-generated payloads or create a custom one
6. Click "Send Simulated Data"

The simulated event will be sent to your specified endpoint by CLI tool.

Viewing Live Webhook Logs

You can view logs for both real and simulated webhook events:

1. Go to your dashboard
2. Select a platform from your library
3. Click on "View Live Logs"

In the live logs page, you'll see:

• A real-time stream of incoming webhook events
• Details of each event, including headers and payload
• The response from your endpoint
• Any errors that occurred during webhook delivery

If you want to see your historical logs, you should use Logs page.

Managing Webhook Configurations Coming Soon

For each platform, you can:

• Rotate the webhook URL for security purposes
• Set up multiple webhook URLs for different environments (e.g., development, staging, production)
• Configure webhook signing secrets (for platforms that support this)

To access these settings:

1. Go to your dashboard
2. Select a platform from your library
3. Click on "Manage Webhook Settings"

Remember, effective webhook management involves both simulating events for testing and handling real events from the actual platforms. Use Webhook Simulator to ensure your webhook handlers are robust and reliable in all scenarios.
