Receive your first webhook

Create an endpoint, send a test request to its capture URL, and inspect the resulting webhook log.

Before you begin

  • A Hookmetry account.
  • Permission to create an endpoint.

Create an endpoint

  1. Open Endpoints in the Hookmetry dashboard.
  2. Create an endpoint and select None as its validation type.
  3. Copy the generated capture URL.

Send a test request

bash
curl --request POST 'https://<Hookmetry host>/webhook/<endpointId>' --header 'content-type: application/json' --data '{"type":"example.created","data":{"id":"evt_123"}}'

Inspect the capture

  1. Open Webhook Logs.
  2. Select the newest log for the endpoint.
  3. Confirm the request method, headers, body, receive time, and validation result.

Expected result

A webhook log appears for the endpoint. Validation is skipped when the endpoint uses None.
