Testing Webhooks

Oct 21, 2025

We've added a Webhook Debugger to help you receive messages and statuses from WhatsApp communication. The debugger allows you to test your webhook endpoints and view incoming events in real-time.

Webhook Debugger Interface

Step 1: Generate Webhook Debugger URL

The first thing you need to do is generate a webhook debugger URL. This will create and update the webhook for messages:

  1. Navigate to your Dashboard
  2. Select the phone number you want to test webhooks for
  3. Click on the Debugger tab
  4. In the "Configure Webhook URL" section, enter your webhook URL (e.g., https://wapflow.app/api/webhooks)
  5. Click the Generate URL button

Once you click Generate URL, it will automatically create and update the webhook for messages with the URL you provided.

Step 2: Start the Debugger

Once you've generated the webhook debugger URL:

  1. Click the Start Debugger button to activate the debugger
  2. The debugger will begin monitoring webhook events in real-time
  3. You'll see a status indicator showing that the debugger is active

Step 3: Send a Test Message

Now that the debugger is active:

  1. Send a message to your connected WhatsApp phone number from another device
  2. The webhook events will be automatically captured and displayed in the Webhook Events Monitor
  3. You'll see events appear in real-time as they're received

Viewing Webhook Messages

In the Webhook Events Monitor, you can:

  • View all incoming webhook events in chronological order
  • See message events, status updates, and other webhook notifications
  • Expand individual events to see the full JSON payload
  • Monitor events as they happen in real-time

The events monitor will display webhook messages as they are received, allowing you to see exactly what data is being sent to your webhook endpoint.

Tips for Testing

  • Check webhook URL - Verify that your webhook URL is correctly configured in the Debugger tab
  • Monitor events - Keep the events monitor open while testing to see events in real-time
  • Test various scenarios - Try sending different types of messages (text, media, etc.) to see various event types
