In this guide you create a project, add a destination and send an event with curl. It takes about five minutes.
1

Create an account

Go to hooksnode.com/register. Sign up with email, Google or GitHub. If you use email, enter the six-digit code that we send to you.
2

Create a workspace and a project

A workspace holds your team, projects and bill. A project holds sources, destinations and events. The dashboard asks for both on first sign-in.Each project starts with one webhook source. Its URL is:
Copy the URL from the project page.
3

Add a destination

A destination is the URL that gets your events. Open Destinations and add one.To test, use an echo endpoint such as https://httpbin.org/post.
On the Free plan, a project with no destination refuses events with 400. Add a destination before you send events.
4

Send an event

hooksnode answers:
enqueued is the number of destinations that got a delivery.
5

See the event

Open Events in the dashboard. The event is there, with its headers, body and the delivery attempt to your destination.

​
Connect a real provider

Paste the source URL into your provider’s webhook settings:
  • Paystack: Settings → API Keys & Webhooks.
  • Flutterwave: Settings → Webhooks.
  • Stripe: the Webhooks page of the Developers dashboard.
  • GitHub: repository Settings → Webhooks → Payload URL.
hooksnode stores the provider’s headers with the event and sends them on to your destinations. Your endpoint can still check the provider’s own signature.
