How to Test Drip Webhooks

Drip webhooks deliver subscriber activity events so your systems can react to new signups, tag changes, and purchases.

Drip Official Webhook Docs

1. Drip Webhook Events

Drip can send the following webhook events to your endpoint:

subscriber.created
subscriber.updated
subscriber.subscribed_to_campaign
subscriber.applied_tag
subscriber.removed_tag
subscriber.performed_custom_event

2. Set Up a Test Endpoint with HookRay

Follow these steps to start receiving Drip webhooks for testing:

  1. Go to HookRay and click "Start Testing — Free" to get your unique webhook URL.
  2. Copy the URL (e.g., https://h.hookray.com/abc123).
  3. In your Drip dashboard, navigate to the webhook settings and paste the HookRay URL as your endpoint.
  4. Select the events you want to receive (see list above).
  5. Trigger a test event — HookRay will show the incoming webhook in real-time.

3. Sample Drip Webhook Payload

Here's an example of what a Drip webhook payload looks like:

payload.json
{
  "event": "subscriber.applied_tag",
  "data": {
    "subscriber": {
      "id": "z1y2x3w4v5",
      "email": "user@example.com",
      "status": "active",
      "tags": [
        "paid-user"
      ]
    },
    "properties": {
      "tag": "paid-user"
    }
  },
  "occurred_at": "2026-03-20T12:45:00Z"
}

4. Common Issues & Troubleshooting

Webhook not arriving?

Check that your endpoint URL is correct and publicly accessible. Drip cannot reach localhost URLs — use HookRay's cloud URL instead.

Getting 400 or 500 errors?

HookRay accepts any payload and returns 200 OK by default, so the issue is likely on Drip's side. Check your webhook configuration and event selection.

Need to verify webhook signatures?

Drip signs webhook requests for security. Use HookRay to capture the raw headers and body, then implement signature verification in your application code.

5. Next Steps

  • Use HookRay's webhook replay feature to re-send captured webhooks while building your handler
  • Enable smart parsing (Pro plan) to see Drip-specific fields highlighted automatically
  • Check the Drip webhook documentation for the complete event reference
