How to Test HubSpot Webhooks

HubSpot webhooks notify your app when CRM records like contacts, companies, and deals are created, updated, or deleted.

HubSpot Official Webhook Docs

1. HubSpot Webhook Events

HubSpot can send the following webhook events to your endpoint:

contact.creation
contact.propertyChange
contact.deletion
company.creation
company.propertyChange
company.deletion
deal.creation
deal.propertyChange
deal.deletion

2. Set Up a Test Endpoint with HookRay

Follow these steps to start receiving HubSpot 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 HubSpot 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 HubSpot Webhook Payload

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

payload.json
{
  "eventId": 18273645,
  "subscriptionType": "deal.propertyChange",
  "portalId": 1234567,
  "occurredAt": 1763582400000,
  "objectId": 987654321,
  "propertyName": "dealstage",
  "propertyValue": "closedwon"
}

4. Common Issues & Troubleshooting

Webhook not arriving?

Check that your endpoint URL is correct and publicly accessible. HubSpot 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 HubSpot's side. Check your webhook configuration and event selection.

Need to verify webhook signatures?

HubSpot 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 HubSpot-specific fields highlighted automatically
  • Check the HubSpot webhook documentation for the complete event reference
