# Introduction

> Hookdrop captures every webhook, inspects the payload, forwards to any environment, and replays on demand.

## What is Hookdrop?

Webhooks are fire-and-forget. When Stripe, GitHub, or Paystack fires an event, it doesn't wait for your server to be ready. If you're deploying, restarting, or just running slow — that event is gone, and you'll never know it arrived.

Hookdrop sits between your webhook provider and your server. It captures every inbound event instantly, stores the full payload, and forwards it to wherever you need — with automatic retries if your server is unavailable. When something goes wrong, you can inspect exactly what arrived and replay it with one click.

## Key features

* **Permanent capture URL** — One URL that never changes or goes down. Every webhook is logged in full: headers, body, timestamp, and source IP.
* **Auto-retry forwarding** — Forward to localhost, staging, or production simultaneously. Automatic retries with exponential backoff.
* **One-click replay** — Replay any past event against any environment instantly. No more asking Stripe to resend.
* **Live event stream** — Watch webhooks arrive in real time on your dashboard via WebSocket. No refreshing needed.
* **AI-powered inspection** — AI explains every payload in plain English, generates TypeScript types, and writes handler code for you.
* **Secure by default** — HMAC signature verification, JWT auth, and tenant-isolated event storage built in from day one.
