Short answer

How do I check my webhook status using AI?

Your AI pulls live metrics like queue depth and delivery attempts directly from Hookdeck. You can ask for specific request volumes or event counts to find bottlenecks instantly. This gives you a direct line into your webhook health through a simple chat interface.

Where every issue lands.

Real-time visibility outcomes

Your AI translates raw Hookdeck data into actionable health reports.

MONITOR

Live queue tracking

The AI checks current queue depth to see if webhooks are backing up. You'll know exactly how many messages are waiting for processing.

DIAGNOSE

Delivery failure analysis

Your agent looks at delivery attempt status to find why requests are failing. It identifies specific patterns in failed attempts.

AUDIT

Traffic volume checks

Get instant counts on request volume and event frequency. This helps you spot sudden spikes or drops in webhook activity.

HUMAN

Manual intervention

The AI identifies the problem and flags it for you. You decide when to manually retry requests or adjust your webhook logic.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI acts as a bridge between your chat interface and the Hookdeck API.

  1. Check for backlogs

    The AI inspects the current number of messages waiting in your queues to detect latency issues.

  2. Analyze traffic

    Your agent pulls the total number of incoming requests and specific event counts to map out activity levels.

  3. Identify failures

    The AI examines the status of delivery attempts to see which webhooks are hitting errors.

    get_metrics_attempts

  4. Review transformations

    The agent looks at how data is being modified during the webhook lifecycle to ensure payloads are correct.

FAQ

Common questions

  • 01

    Can the AI retry failed webhooks?

    No. The AI can only read metrics and status. You must use the Hookdeck dashboard or API to trigger retries.

  • 02

    Can the AI change my webhook routing rules?

    No. The AI is limited to reading metrics like queue depth and request counts. It cannot modify your configurations.

  • 03

    How real-time is the data?

    The data is as real-time as the Hookdeck API. When you ask a question, the AI fetches the most recent metrics available.

  • 04

    Does the AI see my actual webhook payloads?

    The AI only accesses the specific metric and event data provided by the tools. It does not scrape your entire database.

  • 05
