How to make sure your code is okay before going to production

Testing your endpoint

Before going live you would want to test how is your endpoint actually performing.

There is a "Test" button in the "Create webhook" dialog. It sends you a dummy payload with random values roughly corresponding to the expected event payload. We will then show you the results of a single delivery attempt.

A few things to note regarding test payloads:

  1. The payload will contain isLive: false key in order to distinguish it from actual live events which will have isLive: true.
  2. webhookId is set to 0.
  3. Authorization header is signed with slavaukraini secret instead of your actual user secret.
  4. args will NOT contain emulated values but rather a static dummy value. Please accommodate that in your webhook handler.

Testing live actual events

You can use a wonderful https://webhook.site to see the actual webhook payload format before pointing the app to your endpoint.
