How do I route webhooks from multiple providers to different destinations?

You can route webhooks from multiple providers by configuring a centralized Source to ingest them, then defining Connections to direct and transform the payload deliveries to specific Destinations.

What is the best way to debug webhook delivery locally during development?

Debugging webhook delivery locally is best handled by using the Hookdeck CLI to create a Source URL, receive provider payloads, and test routing flows safely across your local development environment.

How does signature verification work for incoming provider webhooks?

Signature verification for incoming provider webhooks works by enforcing provider documentation guidance and applying specific verification workflows to validate the authenticity of received payloads.

Can I transform and retry failed webhook deliveries automatically?

Yes, you can transform and retry failed webhook deliveries automatically by configuring Connections that apply optional scripts to modify payloads before attempting redelivery to the configured Destination.

Do I need the Hookdeck CLI to manage my webhook lifecycle?

You need the Hookdeck CLI to quickly start managing your webhook lifecycle, as it allows you to login, run the listen command, and generate the necessary Source URLs and Connections locally.

Why use an Event Gateway for handling webhook ingestion across environments?

Using an Event Gateway for webhook ingestion provides centralized observability, consistent verification, reliable routing, and automated retries across diverse providers and multiple environments.
