This guide walks you through the process of testing API webhooks using “Webhook.site” It is intended for advanced integrations and informational purposes only. While Progreda does not directly support API configurations, we provide tools and community resources to help you troubleshoot.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Why should I use Webhook.site for testing API webhooks?
Webhook.site allows you to monitor and debug incoming webhook requests in real time. This helps identify potential issues before implementing them in your live environment.
2. Can I make API changes directly within Progreda?
Editing API settings within Progreda is limited. Instead, users should configure and test their integrations using third-party tools like Webhook.site before deploying them.
3. What are the steps to test API webhooks using Webhook.site?
Step 1: Access Webhook.site
Visit Webhook.site and navigate to the homepage.
Copy your unique Testing Webhook URL by clicking the "Copy to Clipboard" button.
Step 2: Configure Your Custom Integration
Open your custom integration tool (e.g., Zapier, Integromat, or another third-party service).
Select the action step where the webhook should be triggered.
Step 3: Replace the API URL with the Webhook.site URL
Temporarily replace the API URL (previously set to Progreda API) with the Webhook.site testing URL.
This allows you to capture raw webhook data and validate the request format before using Progreda’s API.
Step 4: Save and Execute the Test
Save your changes and trigger the webhook event as you would in a real scenario.
Example: If a webhook is triggered by a form submission, submit a test form.
Step 5: Review the Webhook Payload Data
Navigate back to Webhook.site to review the request data captured in real time.
Step 6: Copy and Save Data for Troubleshooting
Click the "Copy" button to save the payload data.
Share this information with developers or support teams if further troubleshooting is required.
4. What should I do if the webhook is not firing correctly?
Ensure the webhook is enabled within your integration settings.
Check if the correct HTTP method (POST, GET, etc.) is being used.
Verify that authentication tokens or required headers are correctly configured.
5. Can I integrate Webhook.site with live workflows?
No, Webhook.site is meant for testing and debugging purposes only. After successful testing, switch back to the Progreda API URL before deploying your workflow in a live environment.
