thanks for contributing these documentation improvements! We'll have to take some time to review this but it looks like a big improvement. |
| - **[Beeceptor](https://beeceptor.com/)**: Quickly create a mock endpoint to inspect incoming webhook requests. | ||
| - **[Pipedream](https://pipedream.com/requestbin)**: Set up a request bin to capture and debug webhook payloads. | ||
| - **[TypedWebhook.tools](https://typedwebhook.tools/)**: Test and validate webhook payloads with schema validation. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
considering the above example shows how to hook this up with a simple nodejs express script, why do we need to be including these tools into our documentation?
Inspecting http requests isn't complicated, tools like these are overkill for testing a webhook endpoint and I would not personally use any of them.

Hi @nick-funk, my intention was to help the developer community with the right set of tools for webhook testing. I firmly believe this would be useful for the documentation readers. Let me know your thoughts. |
