Detect Silent Webhook Failures

Production webhooks fail silently. Timestamps fall outside tolerance. Duplicate deliveries happen. You find out when customers complain.

HookInbox captures incoming Stripe, GitHub, and Shopify webhooks, verifies signatures, and flags what failed and why.

Signatures are verified immediately. Failed requests are flagged with common root causes: timestamp outside tolerance, wrong secret, algorithm mismatch, or payload mismatch.

Recover

Review failure details, identify root cause, fix configuration. Use the payload and headers to reproduce the issue locally.

Real-World Examples

See how HookInbox helps debug common webhook signature issues

Stripe Webhooks

❌ Common Error:

"Signature verification failed: timestamp too old"

What HookInbox shows you:

  • ✓ Exact timestamp age (e.g., "847 seconds old")
  • ✓ Expected vs received signature
  • ✓ Whether your secret format is correct

GitHub Webhooks

❌ Common Error:

"Signature verification failed: mismatch"

What HookInbox shows you:

  • ✓ Which algorithm is being used (SHA-1 vs SHA-256)
  • ✓ Exact expected signature hash
  • ✓ Whether body was modified before verification

Shopify Webhooks

❌ Common Error:

"HMAC validation failed"

What HookInbox shows you:

  • ✓ Expected vs received HMAC (Base64-encoded)
  • ✓ Whether you're using API key instead of webhook secret
  • ✓ If body encoding caused the mismatch

Common Issues We Help Debug
