Test Netlify webhooks
Netlify sends webhooks for deploy events, including deploy started, succeeded, failed, deleted, locked, unlocked, and restored. Capture them on a free webhooks.cc endpoint to see exactly what Netlify sends, then replay deliveries or forward them to your local handler.

How to test Netlify webhooks
- 1
Create a webhook endpoint
Sign in free with GitHub, Google, or email to create a persistent endpoint — or grab an instant guest URL at webhooks.cc without an account.
- 2
Point Netlify at your URL
Paste the endpoint URL into Netlify: Project configuration → Notifications → Deploy notifications → HTTP POST request.
- 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.
