How to Test Slack Webhooks Locally Without the Pain

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

This guide walks through testing Slack webhooks locally using Node.js and Express, covering event capture, signature verification, and payload replay. It addresses the common challenge of Slack needing a public endpoint while developers work on localhost. The tutorial includes step-by-step instructions for setting up a local handler and using tools like ngrok for tunneling.

Meridian48 take
A practical resource for developers who want to avoid the fragile tunnel-and-guess workflow, though it assumes familiarity with Express and Slack API setup.
