Hi there. Webhook-simulator has a very interesting approach, I acquired the deal to use with Google Calendar - I see it is still not covered. Any plan to add it? Anyway I see that in December you will allow user-defined hooks, correct?
Yes, we plan to add the user-defined platforms feature before the end of the year. However, I will also forward your request regarding Google Calendar to our team. They will add it as soon as possible and notify you via email.
I can't believe Tou did it in a few hours while I was sleeping. Congrats! User-defined platforms are indeed important. I've thought about using Zapier to automate tasks, but it only supports a limited range of webhooks despite being a market leader. Also, I do not want to learn a new platform to do something I can do with a few lines of code. This weekend, I plan to explore WS. Thanks!
Where do you intend on taking this product? If you could add webhook forwarding tools similar to hookdeck (ie request routing/rate limiting/scheduling) this could be a really useful tool for us. Something like a proxy for incoming webhooks to make sure that requests are delayed to avoid rate limit issues from various SaaS products. This would allow webhooks to make their way into my dev environment which is behind a firewall I presume? Does the cli work in Windows?
First of all, thank you for your great suggestions; we will definitely consider them. To be honest, creating a proxy for webhooks wasn’t part of our plans. You can partially achieve this with the CLI tool, but I understand that’s not exactly what you’re looking for. Since we initially developed the project as an internal development tool, we focused entirely on that. However, your...
Q: Claspo and Subpage have webhooks. Emailit also has that tool. Would Webhook Simulator help?
Will this tool help a non-programmer with connecting the lead magnets to Emailit? They all have webhooks and I'd like to connect them up. I took Fortran in Engineering a long time ago, but programming is not my best subject. Do you think this tool would be helpful to me?
Currently, we don’t support Claspo, Subpage, and Emailit, but we can add them to the system within a few days. However, I’m afraid that the Webhook Simulator may not be suitable for those without any programming knowledge.
The Webhook Simulator is designed to simplify integration processes and testing, but it is not a no-code tool that directly facilitates integration. However, you...
For now, you can only test webhooks on supported platforms. However, with the update we’ll release at the beginning of December, you’ll be able to add your own applications as well as platforms that aren’t included by default in the system.
There’s actually a small workaround to use this feature already—let’s call it a trick. You can follow these steps:
I wouldn’t say it’s similar to Ngrok because their operating principles are different. Ngrok is a tunneling application that exposes your local development environment to the internet. In Webhook Simulator, however, it works the other way around; your local development environment isn’t exposed to the outside world, which keeps things more secure.

Q: Platform
Can I use it to test webhooks from an app I built or do I have to use one of the supported platforms only?
