Endpoint Sharing

Sometimes you want a teammate, a customer success rep, or an external auditor to see what your webhook endpoint is capturing — without giving them a HookSense account or pulling them into your team. Endpoint sharing creates a read-only link that anyone with the URL can open.

Creating a Share Link

1. Open the endpoint and click Share in the toolbar
2. Pick what the recipient can see:
   • Live + history — full inspector experience including new captures in real time
   • History only — frozen snapshot of requests already captured; no live streaming
   • Single request — link to one specific captured webhook
3. Optionally set an expiration (1 hour, 24 hours, 7 days, or no expiration)
4. Click Copy link

What the Recipient Sees

• Full request data: headers, body, query params, source IP, timestamp, signature status
• Search and filter (read-only)
• Provider detection badges
• The "Copy as cURL" button (for sharing payload reproduction with the recipient)

What they cannot do: replay requests, modify settings, see the HMAC secret, view other endpoints in your account, or trigger any state change.

Security

• Links contain a 32-character random token — unguessable in practice
• Tokens are stored hashed; revoking removes the hash, not just the link
• Revoke any time from the Share menu — the link returns 404 immediately
• Expired or revoked links don't leak metadata; the response is identical to a never-existed token

Use Cases

• Bug reports to support — paste the link in a ticket; the engineer sees the exact failing payload
• Customer integration debugging — share with a customer's developer so they see what their system sent vs what arrived
• Async review — drop a link in Slack and walk away; the reviewer opens it on their schedule
• Audit trail — give a compliance auditor read-only access for a fixed window

Endpoint sharing is available on Hook plans and above. For team-wide collaboration, see Teams.
