Can I send a sample Meta webhook without a Meta account?

Yes. webhooks.cc ships Meta templates (whatsapp.messages, page.messages, instagram.comments) with realistic payloads and correctly computed signature headers. Send them from the dashboard, the SDK, or the MCP server to exercise your handler end-to-end.

How do I verify Meta webhook signatures?

Meta signs each delivery with the x-hub-signature-256 header using HMAC-SHA256. webhooks.cc verifies these signatures for you: add your signing secret to the endpoint and every captured request is marked valid or invalid in the dashboard.

Is the Meta webhook tester free?

Yes. A free account gets you persistent endpoints, 50 requests per day, 7-day retention, and full CLI, SDK, and MCP access — no credit card. You can also try a guest endpoint without an account: up to 25 requests for 12 hours.

Test Meta webhooks

Meta sends webhooks for WhatsApp messages, Facebook Page events, and Instagram comments through the Graph API. Capture them on a free webhooks.cc endpoint to see exactly what Meta sends — or fire realistic, correctly signed sample payloads at your own handler without touching a production account.

How to test Meta webhooks

1
Create a webhook endpoint
Sign in free with GitHub or Google to create a persistent endpoint — or grab an instant guest URL at webhooks.cc/go without an account.
2
Point Meta at your URL
Paste the endpoint URL into Meta: Meta for Developers → your app → Webhooks → Edit subscription.
3
Inspect what arrives
Each delivery appears live in the dashboard with method, headers, body, query parameters, and source IP.
4
Forward to localhost or assert in CI
Run whk tunnel <port> to forward webhooks to a local server, or use the TypeScript SDK to wait for and assert on deliveries in tests.

Send sample Meta events

These Meta templates ship with realistic payloads and valid signature headers. Send them from the dashboard's Send button, the SDK, or your AI agent via MCP.

# Send a signed Meta sample with the SDK
await client.endpoints.sendTemplate( slug, {
  provider: "meta",
  template: "whatsapp.messages",
  secret: "your-test-secret",
});

Meta webhook questions

Create a free endpoint on webhooks.cc — sign in with GitHub or Google, or use a guest endpoint without an account — then configure it as your webhook URL: Meta for Developers → your app → Webhooks → Edit subscription. Every delivery shows up live in the dashboard with full headers, body, and query parameters. To hit a local server, run whk tunnel <port> and the CLI forwards each webhook to localhost.
