Share links give you a permanent, read-only view of any captured event that you can hand to a teammate, paste into a bug report, or attach to a pull request. Anyone with the link can inspect the full payload in their browser — no Webhooktrap account required.

​
What a recipient can do

When someone opens a share link, they get a full read-only view of the captured event.

Inspect headers and body

View every captured header and the raw request body, formatted for readability. The same redaction rules apply — authorization and cookie are shown as [REDACTED].

Copy payload as JSON

Download or copy the entire event as a structured JSON object, ready to paste into a test fixture or a ticket.

Rebuild a cURL command

Generate a ready-to-run curl command that reproduces the original request, including method, headers, and body.

No account needed

Recipients do not need a Webhooktrap account to view a shared event. Opening the link is all it takes.

​
What a recipient cannot do

Share links are strictly read-only. A recipient cannot:
  • Replay the event to any destination URL
  • Modify the inbox configuration or event data
  • Delete events or the inbox itself
  • Access any other event in the same inbox
1

Open the event

Navigate to your inbox in the Webhooktrap dashboard and click the event you want to share.
2

Click Share

Click the Share button in the top-right corner of the event detail view.
3

Copy the link

Copy the generated share link from the dialog. The link is active immediately — paste it anywhere.

​
Use cases

  • Collaborate on a bug — paste the share link into a GitHub issue or Slack message so a teammate can see the exact payload that caused the problem, without needing access to your inbox.
  • Document an integration — attach a share link to a pull request to show reviewers the real payload your new handler will process.
  • File a support ticket — send a share link to a provider’s support team as evidence of what their webhook actually contained.
A share link becomes inaccessible when the underlying event is deleted or when the inbox it belongs to expires. Anonymous inboxes expire after 48 hours, so share links from anonymous inboxes have the same effective lifetime. If you need a permanent share link, capture the event in a saved inbox first.
