simulates webhook events and analyzes responses. Tourism operators use this to ensure smooth data transmission when a guest updates their booking details, guaranteeing accurate information across systems. This prevents errors and ensures your systems respond correctly to booking data changes.

Accessing this feature

Go to Developers Console > Webhooks > Select Webhook > Testing & Debugging

How to use it

Go to the "Testing & Debugging" section for your selected webhook.

  1. Select or Create a Test Payload

  • Use a Recent Event: Choose from a list of actual events that have recently triggered your webhook, allowing you to re-run a real-world scenario with production data (anonymised where applicable).

  • Custom Payload: Manually input a JSON payload to simulate specific data structures or edge cases. This is particularly useful for testing error handling or unusual data formats.

  1. Configure Test Parameters (Optional)

Adjust settings such as HTTP headers, query parameters, or specific event types if your webhook logic depends on these details. This allows for fine-grained control over the simulated request.

  1. Start the Test

Click the Send Test Request button. The system will dispatch a simulated webhook event.

Tips

  • Use recent events to replicate real-world scenarios.

  • Craft custom payloads to test edge cases and error handling.

  • Carefully configure test parameters to match your webhook logic.

  • Analyse the responses to identify and resolve issues.

  • Test regularly to ensure ongoing reliability.
