Welcome to webhook.rodeo

webhook.rodeo is your trusted partner for wrangling webhooks. It's a platform for capturing, inspecting, forwarding, and debugging webhooks—without writing brittle glue code or maintaining custom infrastructure. It sits between third-party providers and your application, giving you reliability, visibility, and full control.

Whether you're building integrations, debugging third-party events, or need a reliable forwarding layer for your event-driven architecture, we make webhooks simple, stable, and observable.

Webhooks are painful

Webhooks seem simple—“receive JSON at a URL”—but building robust pipelines is harder than it looks:

• Unpredictable timing: Events arrive whenever providers send them.
• No visibility: Failures often go unnoticed until something breaks downstream.
• Signature verification boilerplate: Every provider uses different HMAC formats.
• Local development pain: Tunnels drop, logs disappear, payloads get lost.
• Silent failures: Providers retry inconsistently, sometimes not at all.
• Scaling complexity: Keeping endpoints fast and resilient requires real infra.

Webhook Rodeo removes this friction with a stable, observable pipeline built for developers.

Why use Webhook Rodeo

Webhook Rodeo gives you:

• Visibility: Every event is logged, searchable, inspectable, and replayable.
• Reliability: Automatic retries, delivery tracking, and response monitoring.
• Security: Built-in signature verification and secret management.
• Flexibility: Forward to your API, queues, or Slack channels.
• Faster iteration: Test integrations without managing tunnels or temporary servers.

What webhook.rodeo does

Webhook Rodeo gives you a unique webhook URL for each integration:

https://webhook.rodeo/w/your-username/github-webhooks

When a webhook hits your URL, we:

1. Capture everything — headers, body, IP address, timestamp
2. Verify signatures — optional HMAC validation
3. Log the event — full payload storage for debugging
4. Forward reliably — delivery with automatic retries
5. Track delivery — status codes, response bodies, response times
6. Enable replay — resend any event with one click

What you can build

• Stripe payments into your backend
• Clerk user events into onboarding workflows
• GitHub PR events into CI/CD or automation
• Shopify events into inventory or fulfillment systems

How it works under the hood

When a webhook arrives at your Webhook Rodeo URL, here's what happens:

1. Instant capture — The webhook request hits our API and is immediately persisted to our database with full headers, body, IP address, and timestamp.

2. Async processing — The event is queued for reliable background processing. This ensures your webhook provider gets a fast 200 OK response, regardless of downstream complexity.

3. Durable workflows — We orchestrate forwarding with built-in retry logic, exponential backoff, and failure recovery. If your destination is down, we'll keep retrying without losing the event.

4. Automatic signature verification — We verify the HMAC-SHA256 signature of the webhook request based on the providers signature and provided secret. No configuration required.

5. Real-time visibility — As events flow through the system, status updates are streamed in real-time, so you see delivery progress live in the dashboard.
