Testing tips specific to Meta (WhatsApp / Messenger)

  • Meta signs with HMAC-SHA256 over the raw body using your app secret — the header is X-Hub-Signature-256 (sha256=...)
  • The initial GET handshake must echo hub.challenge and match your hub.verify_token, or Meta won't enable the subscription
  • WhatsApp Cloud API, Messenger, and Instagram all share this same webhook scheme
  • Use HookSense to inspect the entry/changes payload structure before writing your handler
