Real-time webhook debugging for Dutch developers — every tool you need to inspect, validate, and replay webhook events in one dashboard.

Explore Features See Comparison

WebhookWatch captures every incoming webhook payload the moment it hits your endpoint. Built by developers in Amsterdam, the platform processes over 2.4 million webhook events daily for teams at Booking.com, Adyen, and Mollie. Below is a complete breakdown of every capability available on the platform.

WebhookWatch dashboard showing real-time webhook event log with timestamp, HTTP status, and payload preview columns

The dashboard updates in under 200 milliseconds. Each event is stored with full request headers, response body, latency metrics, and a one-click replay button. No event is discarded — even failed deliveries are archived for 90 days.

Feature Breakdown

Everything WebhookWatch Can Do

From raw payload inspection to automated retry simulation, every feature is designed to eliminate guesswork from webhook integration.

Real-Time Logging

Every webhook event is captured and displayed within 150ms of arrival. The live feed shows HTTP method, status code, content-type, and a truncated payload preview. Click any row to expand the full request and response body.

🔍

Header Inspection

View every request header sent by the upstream provider. WebhookWatch highlights X-Webhook-Signature, User-Agent, and Content-MD5 headers automatically so you can verify authenticity without manual parsing.

🔁

Webhook Replay

Re-send any captured webhook to your live or staging endpoint with a single click. Choose to replay the original headers, modify the payload body, or adjust the response delay to simulate different failure scenarios.

📝

Custom Responses

Define mock responses with custom status codes (200, 201, 400, 500, 503) and JSON bodies. Set response delays from 0ms to 30 seconds to test how your provider's retry logic behaves under different conditions.

Payload Validation

Attach JSON Schema validators to your webhook endpoints. WebhookWatch checks every incoming payload against your schema and flags mismatches in real time — missing fields, wrong types, or unexpected values are highlighted instantly.

🔐

Signature Verification

Configure HMAC-SHA256 or HMAC-SHA512 signature verification for Stripe, Shopify, GitHub, or custom providers. Enter your shared secret once and WebhookWatch validates every incoming signature, marking events as Verified or Failed.

📊

Latency Metrics

Track end-to-end latency for every webhook event. WebhookWatch records the time between request receipt and your server's response, displaying averages, p95, and p99 values on the dashboard overview.

🔗

Shared Endpoints

Generate unique webhook URLs with paths like /hooks/stripe or /hooks/shopify. Each endpoint can have its own custom response rules, validation schemas, and signature secrets configured independently.

📦

Export & Archive

Export webhook events as JSON, CSV, or cURL commands. Bulk-download entire event logs or archive individual payloads for offline analysis. All exports include full headers, timestamps, and response metadata.
