Built for real-world workflows

Whether you're debugging integrations, monitoring production, converting emails, or testing locally—Hooklistener has you covered.

Debug third-party integrations

Point Stripe, Shopify, or GitHub webhooks to a Debug Endpoint and watch payloads stream in live. Inspect headers, validate signatures, and replay failed requests to staging or prod.

Resolve issues 10x faster

Never miss broken webhooks

Configure Monitors on critical endpoints to get instant alerts when webhooks stop arriving. Receive notifications via Email or Slack before customers notice issues.

58% faster incident response

Parse emails as webhooks

Convert order confirmations, notifications, and automated emails into HTTP webhooks. Create an Email Inbox and forward parsed data to any API endpoint automatically.

Automate any email workflow

Test webhooks locally

Use the CLI to tunnel live webhook traffic to your local development environment. No ngrok setup required—authenticate once and start receiving payloads instantly.

Zero-config local testing

Works with any HTTP source — Stripe, GitHub, Shopify, Twilio, and thousands more.

From capture to confidence
in four simple steps

A streamlined workflow that takes you from receiving your first webhook to monitoring production integrations with confidence.

01

Create your endpoint

Spin up a Debug Endpoint in seconds. Get a unique HTTPS URL that captures every incoming request with full HTTP details.

Why developers love Hooklistener

Built by developers, for developers. Every feature is designed to save you time and frustration.

Debug in minutes, not hours

Stop tailing logs and guessing what went wrong. See the exact payload, headers, and response in real-time with full context.

Test locally with zero config

Use the CLI to tunnel webhooks to localhost. No ngrok setup, no port forwarding, no firewall hassles. Just authenticate and go.

Know before your users do

Set up Monitors to alert you when webhooks stop. Get notified via Email or Slack the moment an integration goes silent.

Frequently asked questions

What is a webhook?
A webhook is an HTTP callback that pushes event data to your endpoint the moment something happens. Instead of polling an API, the provider sends a signed POST payload to the URL you configure, letting services like Stripe, GitHub, or Slack keep your application in sync in real time.
What is Hooklistener?
Hooklistener is a complete webhook toolkit for developers. It combines Debug Endpoints for capturing and inspecting webhooks, Monitors for alerting when integrations go silent, Email Inboxes for converting emails to webhooks, and a CLI tool for tunneling payloads to your local development environment. Everything you need to debug, monitor, and forward webhooks.
What are Debug Endpoints?
Debug Endpoints are unique HTTPS URLs that capture every incoming HTTP request with full details—headers, body, query params, IP address, and TLS information. You can inspect requests in real-time, replay them to any destination, share inspection links with teammates, and keep up to 14+ days of history. They're perfect for debugging third-party integrations without touching your production code.
How do Monitors work?
Monitors watch your Debug Endpoints for inactivity and send alerts when webhooks stop arriving. You configure a timeout threshold (1-1440 minutes), and if no requests arrive within that window, Hooklistener notifies you via Email and/or Slack. Cooldown periods prevent alert spam, and you can track alert history and last-request timestamps to diagnose issues quickly.
What are Email Inboxes?
Email Inboxes let you create unique email addresses (like notifications@hookinbox.com) that automatically convert incoming emails into HTTP webhooks. When an email arrives, Hooklistener parses the content (from, to, subject, body, attachments) and forwards it to your configured HTTP endpoints. Perfect for automating workflows triggered by transactional emails, notifications, or alerts.
How does the CLI work?
The Hooklistener CLI lets you receive live webhook payloads on your local machine. After authenticating with a simple device code flow, you can create a tunnel that forwards requests from any Debug Endpoint to localhost. It works behind firewalls, requires no ngrok setup, and gives you full request details including headers, body, and cookies for local debugging.
Why do teams choose Hooklistener over webhook.site or Hookdeck?
Teams choose Hooklistener for the complete toolkit approach:
  • Debug Endpoints with 14+ day retention, request replay, and team sharing—not just temporary request bins.
  • Monitors that alert you via Email and Slack when integrations break, before customers notice.
  • Email Inboxes that convert any email into webhooks for workflow automation.
  • CLI tunneling for local development without complex ngrok configurations.
Can I use Hooklistener for free?
Yes. The Free plan includes unlimited Debug Endpoints, 14 days of request history, Monitors with Email alerts, and CLI access for local tunneling. As you scale, upgrade to Team for longer retention, more monitors per endpoint, and priority support. Sign up and try it here.
How do I set up an endpoint to debug webhooks?
  1. Log in and open the Endpoints section in your organization.
  2. Click New Endpoint and give it a name—you'll get a unique HTTPS URL.
  3. Point your webhook source (Stripe, GitHub, etc.) at the generated URL.
  4. Watch requests stream in live with full headers, body, and metadata.
  5. Share the inspection link with teammates or replay requests to any destination.
Can I test webhooks locally?
Yes! Use the Hooklistener CLI to tunnel webhooks to your local machine:
  1. Install the CLI: npm install -g hooklistener
  2. Authenticate: hooklistener auth and follow the device code flow.
  3. Start tunneling: hooklistener tunnel your-endpoint-slug --port 3000
  4. Receive live webhooks on localhost:3000 with full request details.
How does Hooklistener handle security?
Every webhook travels over TLS, and all request data is encrypted at rest. You can configure custom response codes to prevent information leakage, and shared inspection links can be revoked at any time. Team plans include role-based access controls, and Enterprise adds audit logs and SSO/SAML for regulated environments.
How long are webhook payloads retained?
Request history is retained for 14 days on Free plans and up to 90+ days on Enterprise plans. You can export request data via the API before the retention window closes. Monitors retain alert history indefinitely.
How does Hooklistener support teams?
Organizations centralize all endpoints, monitors, and email inboxes while letting you invite teammates with role-based permissions. Share read-only inspection links, collaborate on debugging sessions, and track who accessed what with audit logs (Enterprise). Everyone sees the same request history and can replay webhooks without duplicating work.
What subscription is best for me?

Choose a plan that matches your needs:

  • Free: Unlimited endpoints, 14-day retention, monitors with email alerts, CLI access. Perfect for solo developers and small projects.
  • Team: Extended retention, Slack alerts, multiple monitors per endpoint, priority support. Ideal for growing teams and production workloads.
  • Enterprise: 90+ day retention, audit logs, SSO/SAML, custom limits, dedicated support. For mission-critical integrations and regulated industries.
