I ran into the exact same scenario a while back
we had webhok events firing from our app and needed an automated way to verify the payloads.
I ended up going with Beeceptor and it worked really well for this.
Approach that worked for me:
- Created a endpoint on Beeceptor and point your webhook config at it.
- Triggered webhook events through automated tests.
- Using Beeceptor’s API to pull the captured request history, so we can assert on the payload, headers, method, etc.
Trigger the event, wait a beat, hit the Beeceptor history API, and assert on the response. Way cleaner than Postman mock servers for this use case.
Mock servers are great for stubbing responses but they’re not really designed to capture inbound webhook calls the way Beeceptor is.
Hope that helps!
