How to use custom domains for your webhook endpoints

Custom Domains

Using your own domain (e.g., webhooks.your-company.com) for your webhook endpoints takes your integration capabilities to the next level. It offers a completely white-labeled experience, ensuring that your webhook URLs are entirely under your brand and control. Webhook Relay handles the complexities of SSL/TLS certificate management, providing automatic HTTPS for your custom domain.

Why Use a Custom Domain?

While custom subdomains offer a significant step up in usability and branding, using your own custom domain provides the ultimate level of professionalism and control. Instead of a URL like your-company.hooks.webhookrelay.com, your webhooks can be received at webhooks.your-company.com or any other domain you own. This makes the webhook endpoints appear as if they are an integral part of your own server infrastructure.

Key Benefits:

  • Complete Branding: Present a fully branded experience to your users and webhook providers. The webhook URLs will use your domain, reinforcing brand trust and consistency.
  • Appear as Your Own Server: By using your own domain, the webhook endpoints seem to be hosted directly on your infrastructure, offering a seamless integration experience.
  • Automatic HTTPS: Webhook Relay automatically provisions and renews SSL/TLS certificates for your custom domain, ensuring your webhook data is always transmitted securely over HTTPS without any manual intervention on your part.
  • Stable & Reusable URLs: Just like custom subdomains, your custom domain URL remains constant. You can point it to different buckets within Webhook Relay as your needs evolve, without requiring changes in your webhook provider configurations.
  • Enhanced Trust & Professionalism: Using your own domain for webhook endpoints projects a higher level of professionalism and can increase trust with third-party services sending you webhooks.
  • Simplified Configuration & Management: While the initial setup involves pointing your DNS records to Webhook Relay, subsequent management is straightforward. Redirecting webhooks to new buckets or services is done within your Webhook Relay dashboard, abstracting the underlying infrastructure.

By leveraging custom domains, you establish a highly professional, secure, and flexible webhook infrastructure that is fully integrated with your brand.
