Webhooks to Internal Servers
Webhook Relay allows you to forward webhooks to internal servers
Webhook Relay provides a secure and reliable way to receive webhooks from external services directly on your local machine or servers located within your private network (on-prem). This eliminates the need for complex firewall configurations or exposing your internal endpoints directly to the internet.
How it Works
- Install the Webhook Relay agent on your target machine (local PC or internal server).
- Start the agent with
relay forward -b example http://localhost:4500/webhooks
Key Benefits
- Bypass Firewalls and NATs: Receive webhooks without needing public IP addresses or opening firewall ports. Webhook Relay establishes an outbound connection from your network, which is typically allowed.
- Enhanced Security: Your internal endpoints remain hidden and protected from direct internet exposure. Communication happens over a secure, encrypted tunnel.
- Simplified Development & Testing: Easily test webhook integrations during development by pointing webhooks directly to your local development environment.
- Connect On-Prem Systems: Integrate cloud services with internal applications running on private networks seamlessly.
- Reliability: The agent ensures persistent connectivity and reliable delivery of webhooks.
