Webhooks

Receive real-time notifications from external services via webhooks.

Creating a Webhook Endpoint

Create an API route in your project to handle incoming webhooks:

// api/webhooks/stripe.ts
export async function POST(req: Request) {
  const body = await req.json();
  // Handle the webhook event
  return new Response('OK', { status: 200 });
}

Common Webhook Sources

• GitHub: Push events, pull requests, issues
• Stripe: Payment events, subscription updates
• Slack: Messages, slash commands
• Zapier: Custom automation triggers

Webhook Security

Always verify webhook signatures to ensure requests are legitimate. Check the documentation of the service you're integrating with.
