Relae
Relae is a cloud API and web service for relaying webhooks between vendors and an application.
What Relae is
Relae is a cloud API and web service for relaying webhooks between vendors and an application. It retries failed deliveries up to five times with exponential backoff, then moves them to a dead letter queue for review, debugging, and manual replay. Each vendor receives a separate endpoint that can be rotated independently. Incoming signatures can be verified for Stripe, Shopify, GitHub, GitLab, Slack, and SendGrid, while forwarded webhooks receive HMAC-SHA256 signatures. Custom headers can carry authentication tokens or API keys. Analytics cover delivery rates, response times, and failure patterns on Scale and Enterprise plans. Relae documents AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.2+ connections, retention-based deletion, and no customer-data sharing. Builder is free at no cost; Launch is $35 a month and Scale is $65 a month.
