How to Test Typeform Webhooks

Typeform posts a webhook every time a form response is submitted, giving you the full answer set for automations and lead routing.

1. Typeform Webhook Events

Typeform can send the following webhook events to your endpoint:

form_response

2. Set Up a Test Endpoint with HookRay

Follow these steps to start receiving Typeform 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 Typeform 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 Typeform Webhook Payload

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

payload.json
{
  "event_id": "01HRZJYJ8M2RXK5A4Q9E0ZXM2G",
  "event_type": "form_response",
  "form_response": {
    "form_id": "abc123",
    "token": "response_token_987",
    "submitted_at": "2026-03-20T09:30:00Z",
    "hidden": {
      "campaign": "spring-launch"
    }
  }
}

4. Common Issues & Troubleshooting

Webhook not arriving?

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

Need to verify webhook signatures?

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