Simulating Webhooks
You can use the Webhook Tester in your dashboard to send mock events to your server. This allows you to verify your Signature Verification logic without making an actual API call.[!TIP] Use a tool like ngrok or https://webhook.site to tunnel your local server to a public URL so it can receive PaveWay’s test webhooks during development.
