I have been working on project that requires me to have a sentry-webhook integration. Is there anyway to get the past sentry webhook events for an alert that I have created on the console. I'm looking for something like a replay-able sentry webhooks that would make the developement faster. Some platforms like stripe and github provides them. Hence wanted a similar thing.
For context, I do have the webhook structure, but If I could look at an actual event from the past, it would be easier to test the functionality. Let me know if you have better suggestion.

Hi @steady shell. I'm happy to dig into this for you! I'll check my internal sources for answers to your question! :wave:
Based on the information in the knowledge sources, Sentry doesn't currently offer a feature to replay past webhook events like Stripe or GitHub does.
According to a GitHub issue discussing this feature request, a Sentry team member mentioned that "This idea isn't being prioritized right now" Sentry GitHub Issue #23879. The issue was specifically requesting the ability to see webhook payloads and response details similar to how GitHub handles webhooks.
For developing and testing webhooks with Sentry, the documentation recommends:
- Using an HTTP catch-all service that provides a designated URL where you can receive and inspect the JSON event payloads
- Creating local tunnels to get incoming webhook requests from Sentry to your local machine for faster testing and debugging Integration Platform Webhooks
A contributor also mentioned that developers can see request and response bodies for their custom integration's webhooks under the 'dashboard' pages network requests, but this appears to be for monitoring current requests rather than replaying past ones.
