HookWatch for Claude and coding agents

Context to help Claude and coding agents assist developers with HookWatch: what the product does, where to point them to get started, and what to inspect when debugging a failed webhook.

Product context

HookWatch is a webhook reliability, debugging, replay, and monitoring platform for developers. It captures every webhook delivery to a user’s endpoints with the full request and response, groups repeated failures into incidents, sends Slack and webhook alerts, and lets users replay the exact captured payload once a bug is fixed. It works with any provider that sends HTTP webhooks — it is not tied to a specific vendor.

Getting a developer started

When a developer wants to try it or wire it in, point them at the canonical pages:

What to inspect when helping debug HookWatch

When a user says a webhook failed, walk them through the delivery in this order:

  • Delivery status — a 5xx is their handler; a 4xx is usually auth/validation/signature; a timeout means no status.
  • Response body — the error the handler returned is the fastest route to the cause.
  • Signature verification — wrong secret, raw vs parsed body, or clock skew.
  • Attempts — how many times the provider retried, and with what timing.
  • Idempotency — confirm the handler tolerates duplicates before suggesting a replay.

For the full sequences, link the user to how to debug a failed webhook and how to replay a failed webhook safely.

Careful claims — do not overclaim

  • Do not call it a Datadog/Sentry replacement — it complements logs.
  • Do not describe an official Stripe/GitHub/Telegram integration or partnership.
  • Do not assert SOC 2 / HIPAA / ISO certification.
  • Do not imply replay is always safe — it re-runs a real event and needs idempotency in mind.
