Webhook Payload Builder

Build webhook JSON payloads for GitHub, Stripe, Slack, and custom services with schema templates.

What Webhook Payload Builder does, with a checked example

Pick a provider and an event type, and the tool loads a JSON skeleton matching that event's documented fields, which you then edit through form inputs instead of raw JSON. It covers GitHub push/PR/issue events, Stripe event objects, Slack incoming-webhook messages, and a free-form custom schema builder. What people get wrong most often: the output is a shape reference with placeholder IDs and timestamps, not a live capture from their actual repo or account, and it carries no valid signature header.

Worked example

A concrete input and expected output from the current implementation.

Input

Provider: Slack incoming webhook. Message text: "Deploy finished"

Expected output

{
  "text": "Deploy finished"
}

Slack's incoming webhook API accepts a minimal JSON body with just a "text" key for a basic message; the tool fills that template field with your text and omits optional keys like blocks or channel since none were supplied.

How the result is produced

1

Template selection

Choosing a provider and event or object type (e.g. GitHub 'pull_request opened', Stripe 'payment_intent.succeeded', Slack 'incoming webhook message') loads a JSON skeleton with placeholder values for the fields that event documents. Switching the event type swaps the whole skeleton rather than patching individual keys.

2

Field overrides and custom schemas

Form fields let you replace placeholder values (amounts, usernames, message text, repo names) and the tool re-renders the JSON with those substitutions while keeping the template's key order and nesting intact. The custom-service mode skips the provider templates entirely and lets you define arbitrary top-level keys and values.

Good uses

  • standing up a local webhook receiver and posting sample payloads to it before connecting a real GitHub repo or Stripe account
  • generating example request bodies for internal API or integration documentation
  • creating fixture files for unit tests that parse or route incoming webhook events

Limits and checks

  • no valid signature is generated (no X-Hub-Signature-256, no Stripe-Signature HMAC), so code that verifies webhook signatures will reject this payload as-is
  • IDs, timestamps, and account or customer identifiers in the output are placeholders, not values tied to any real GitHub, Stripe, or Slack account
  • provider payload schemas change across API versions and new event types are added regularly, so a template can drift from what a live account currently sends

Common questions

Will this payload pass signature verification on my webhook endpoint?

No. The tool has no access to your signing secret, so it can't compute a valid HMAC and won't set a real signature header. Use it to test payload parsing and routing, then test signature verification separately with the provider's own tools, such as the Stripe CLI's trigger command or GitHub's webhook redelivery.

Does it fetch a real example from my GitHub or Stripe account?

No. It fills in a local schema template with placeholder or manually entered values entirely in the browser; nothing is sent to or retrieved from GitHub, Stripe, or Slack.
