Testing webhooks

Testing your webhook integration ensures your endpoint correctly receives, verifies, and processes events before going to production.

Using Svix Play

Svix Play provides a temporary, unique public URL to receive and inspect webhook events in real-time. You can view headers, payloads, and replay events to test error handling and retries without exposing your local server.

⚠️

Svix Play endpoints are temporary and should only be used for development and testing. Do not send sensitive data to Svix Play.

Update your webhook subscriptions to use your production endpoint after testing.

Exposing local endpoints with tunneling tools

If testing locally, locally, tunneling tools like ngrok or localtunnel can create a secure tunnel from a public URL to your local server. Use this URL as your webhook endpoint for development.
