Process an Incoming Webhook

Problem this workflow solves

A third-party service is sending webhook events to your server and you need to understand the payload format, check for sensitive data, and verify signatures before writing integration code.

Steps

1
Format and explore the webhook payload
Paste the raw JSON body from the webhook event. Pretty-print it to understand the data structure, field names, and nesting before writing any parsing logic.

2
Scan for sensitive or personal data
Run the payload through the analyzer to detect any PII, credentials, or financial data embedded in the webhook. This tells you whether you need encryption, masking, or access controls for storage.

3
Verify the webhook signature
Paste the raw payload body, the signature from the HTTP header, and your shared secret. Confirm the HMAC signature matches before trusting any event data.
Open Tool
4
Convert the example cURL to your language
Take the example cURL command from the third-party documentation and convert it to Fetch, Axios, Python, or PHP to get working code as the starting point for your integration.

What you achieve

You understand the webhook payload structure, know which fields contain sensitive data, can verify incoming signatures, and have working code to start your integration.
