webhook-gen

Webhook Generator

Describe the webhook you're handling. Get a complete handler with signature verification, retry logic, and proper error handling. Stripe, GitHub, Twilio. all the patterns you need.

One command. Zero config. Just works.

Quick Start

npx ai-webhook "stripe payment succeeded"

What It Does

• Generates complete webhook handler functions
• Includes signature verification for popular providers
• Adds idempotency checks to prevent duplicate processing
• Implements retry-safe patterns with proper status codes
• Handles common webhooks from Stripe, GitHub, Shopify, and more

Usage Examples

# Stripe payment webhook
npx ai-webhook "stripe checkout.session.completed"

# GitHub push events
npx ai-webhook "github push event to trigger deployment"

# Generic webhook with retry
npx ai-webhook "order created webhook with idempotency" 

# Specify provider explicitly
npx ai-webhook "new subscriber notification" --provider convertkit

# TypeScript output
npx ai-webhook "invoice paid" --typescript

Best Practices

• Always verify signatures - Never trust raw webhook payloads
• Return 200 quickly - Process async. Don't make providers wait
• Handle duplicates - Webhooks retry. Your handler should be idempotent
• Log everything - Debugging webhook issues without logs is painful

When to Use This

• Integrating a payment provider like Stripe or Paddle
• Setting up GitHub Actions alternatives with webhooks
• Building notification systems triggered by external services
• Any third-party integration that sends webhooks
