WebhookRelay
WebhookRelay receives webhook requests, stores their payloads and headers, and queues delivery to your application.
What WebhookRelay is
WebhookRelay receives webhook requests, stores their payloads and headers, and queues delivery to your application. When a server is unavailable, failed deliveries are retried after 30 seconds, 5 minutes, 30 minutes, 2 hours, and 24 hours. Its dashboard records delivery status, response codes, and timing, and allows manual retries. The service works with Stripe, GitHub, Shopify, Paddle, and other webhook providers. It forwards the incoming HTTP method and full request body with original headers except Host and Content-Length. Each endpoint has a unique HMAC signing secret, and webhook URLs use HTTPS. A REST API supports programmatic endpoint and event management. The free plan is aimed at side projects and testing, providing 25,000 events per month, seven-day history, five automatic retries, logging, manual retry, and API access. Retries do not count as additional events.
