mailhooks.cc

Quick Start

Get started in four steps: create an endpoint, send it a webhook and an email, and inspect payloads, headers, codes and links in the dashboard.

Get started

1

Create an endpoint

Sign in and click New Endpoint in the dashboard. Every endpoint has a URL for webhooks and an address for email:

https://go.webhooks.cc/w/<slug>
<slug>@mailhooks.cc

Or create one programmatically with the SDK (TypeScript, Python or Go), the CLI, or the MCP server.

Endpoints made without an account (the guest URL on the home page) receive HTTP requests only. Sign in, on any plan, to get the email address.

2

Send a webhook

Point your service at the endpoint URL. Or test it with curl:

curl -X POST https://go.webhooks.cc/w/<slug> \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"event": "payment.success", "amount": 4999}'

The receiver accepts any HTTP method, content type, and body.

3

Send an email

Send a message to <slug>@mailhooks.cc from any mail client, or let your app send one: sign up with that address to catch the confirmation email. Add a tag after a plus sign to tell flows apart, such as <slug>+signup@mailhooks.cc; it lands on the same endpoint.

An email counts as one request against your quota, like a webhook. See Email Capture.

4

View in the dashboard

Open the dashboard. Requests and emails appear in real time, in one list.

  • Webhooks: inspect headers, body, query parameters, and metadata. Copy as curl, replay to another URL, or export as JSON/CSV.
  • Emails: preview the HTML safely, copy the one-time code and main link, check the SPF, DKIM and DMARC results, and open attachments or the original message.

Next steps

For webhooks:

Configure mock responses

Control what your endpoint returns to the sender.

Set up local tunneling

Forward webhooks to localhost.

Use the SDK

Integrate webhooks.cc into your test suite.

For email:

Test signup emails

Wait for a confirmation email in a test and read its code or link.

Read data out of emails

Pull fields, line items and attachments (CSV, Excel, PDF) out of each email.

For both:

Forward to your servers

Send webhooks and emails to your URLs, Slack, Discord, Google Sheets, Zapier or Make.
