Reliable inbound webhook ingestion.
Point any provider at a stable Hookbridge URL. We verify, queue, and forward to your server—with retries, observability, and alerting at every step.
Point. Receive. Forward.
1. Create an endpoint
Set up an inbound endpoint in the console or API. You get a unique, private URL with an embedded secret. Configure verification and forwarding rules.
2. Point your providers
Give the URL to Stripe, GitHub, Shopify, or any service that sends webhooks. One stable URL per provider—it never changes.
3. We verify, queue, and forward
Hookbridge verifies the request, stores the payload durably, and forwards to your server. If forwarding fails, we retry automatically with backoff.
Reject spoofed requests at the edge.
HMAC signature verification
Validate HMAC signatures from providers like Stripe and GitHub before forwarding. Configure the signing secret, header name, and algorithm per endpoint. Unverified requests are rejected immediately.
Static token verification
For providers that include a shared secret or bearer token in a header, Hookbridge checks the token value before forwarding. Simple, effective for providers that don't support HMAC.
IP allowlist
Restrict inbound webhooks to requests from known IP ranges. Many providers publish their webhook source IPs—Hookbridge can enforce the allowlist at the edge before your server sees the request.
A reliable layer between providers and your server.
Survive downtime
When your server is down for a deploy or outage, Hookbridge queues incoming webhooks. Payloads are stored durably and forwarded when your server is back. No lost events, no manual recovery.
One stable URL
Swap backends, change ports, or migrate infrastructure without updating webhook URLs in every provider dashboard. The Hookbridge URL stays the same—you just update where it forwards to.
Decouple ingestion from processing
Accept webhooks instantly at the edge, then forward to your server at a pace it can handle. Spikes from providers don't overwhelm your application.
Provider-agnostic
Every provider sends webhooks differently. Hookbridge normalizes the ingestion layer—verification, queuing, and forwarding work the same regardless of the source.
Every webhook delivered to your server.
Automatic retries with backoff
When forwarding to your server fails, Hookbridge retries with exponential backoff and jitter. Transient errors, slow responses, and temporary outages are handled automatically.
Dead-letter queue
Messages that exhaust all retry attempts move to a dead-letter queue. Nothing is silently dropped. Review, debug, and replay failed forwards whenever you're ready.
Durable storage
Every inbound webhook is stored durably before forwarding is attempted. Even if Hookbridge restarts or a forwarding worker fails, the payload is safe and delivery will be retried.
One-click replay
Replay any forward from the console or API while the payload is still in retention. The original payload is delivered exactly as it was received from the provider. Built-in guardrails prevent accidental duplicates.
Full visibility into every inbound webhook.
Delivery logs
Every forwarding attempt logged with HTTP status, response body, and headers. See exactly what your server returned and when.
HTTP timing breakdowns
Per-attempt timing for DNS, TCP, TLS, and time to first byte on the forward request. Pinpoint where slowdowns or failures occur in your infrastructure.
Slack & email alerts
Get notified when forwarding starts failing. Configurable thresholds and severity levels so you catch problems before they affect your application.
Metrics & exports
Success rates, latency percentiles, and failure breakdowns per inbound endpoint. Pull metrics via API or export delivery logs as CSV.
