How to verify if webhook is being triggered in Jira cloud

Summary

Sometimes, we might want to verify whether a Webhook is being triggered in Jira cloud or whether the data being triggered by a Webhook is correct. This article will suggest how to set it up.

Solution

We recommend performing the steps below to test whether your site is triggering Webhooks when an issue is created, for example.

• You can get a test URL from https://webhook.site. Copy the Unique URL generated for you from this page.

• Now, in your site create a new test Webhook listener for Issue created event by navigating to Settings → System → Webhooks. Copy the unique URL from the above step and paste it onto the URL section. You can narrow down the Issue created event by using JQL to only trigger for a test project.

• Create a test issue in that project and then navigate to the https://webhook.site page. This will display the Issue details that were triggered by the Webhook.
