Test incoming webhooks on your local system without extra setup

Lets your local system safely receive test messages from outside services without exposing your computer.

How the work actually flows

It repeats. Checks again for next request.

The problem it solves

Testing an integration that needs to receive data from another service usually means exposing your computer to the public internet or setting up extra infrastructure just to run a quick test. That's a hassle for a task you might only need once.

Who it fits

Developers or technical teams who need to test integrations without exposing their local development setup.

How it works

  1. Starts when you turn on the relay
  2. Generates a public address that forwards incoming requests
  3. Checks on a schedule for any new incoming requests
  4. Delivers each request straight to your local system for testing
What you get

Integrations tested without opening your machine to the internet

You can safely receive test messages from outside services on your local machine without exposing it to the internet.

What you get

A temporary public address that safely forwards test requests to your local system.

What you need

A self-hosted server environment and a key-value storage add-on.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.

Related automations

Get an instant triage report when file automations break

Send in details about a failed file or attachment process and get back a clear action plan to fix it.

Standard

Get a full report of every webhook connection your automations use

One request returns a full list of every active connection point in your automation system, with details.

Standard

Process incoming requests one at a time instead of all at once

Makes sure your automation finishes one request before starting the next, even if several arrive at once.

Advanced

Process a batch of items in parallel and wait for all to finish

Runs many jobs at the same time instead of one by one, then combines the results once everything is finished.
