Getting Started with HookRelay

Create Your Account

Go to hookrelay.fly.dev and enter your email. You'll receive a magic link — click it to log in. No password to remember.

The free tier includes 1 endpoint and 100 webhook captures per month — enough to get started with any integration.

Create an Endpoint

Once logged in, click New Endpoint in the dashboard. Give it a name (e.g., "Stripe Webhooks" or "GitHub Events").

You'll get a unique URL like:

https://hookrelay.fly.dev/h/abc123xyz

This URL is permanent — it won't change, even if you restart your dev environment.

Point Your Provider to HookRelay

Go to your webhook provider's settings and paste your HookRelay endpoint URL. Here's where to find webhook settings for popular services:

• Stripe: Dashboard → Developers → Webhooks → Add endpoint
• GitHub: Repo Settings → Webhooks → Add webhook
• Shopify: Settings → Notifications → Webhooks → Create webhook
• Twilio: Phone Numbers → Configure → Webhook URL

Trigger a Webhook

Do something in your provider that triggers a webhook event. For example:

• Stripe: Create a test payment or use the Stripe CLI to trigger an event
• GitHub: Push a commit or open a pull request
• Shopify: Place a test order

Or send a test webhook manually with curl:

curl -X POST https://hookrelay.fly.dev/h/abc123xyz \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"event": "test", "data": {"message": "Hello HookRelay!"}}'

Inspect in Real Time

Switch to the HookRelay dashboard. Your webhook appears instantly via WebSocket — no refresh needed. You'll see:

• Full request headers
• Parsed JSON body (with syntax highlighting)
• Query parameters
• Source IP and timestamp
• Response status your endpoint returned
