Webhook Guardian monitors Stripe webhook delivery failures by polling the Stripe Events API every 5 minutes with read-only OAuth access. You receive a Slack or email alert within 5 minutes of any failed delivery, including the event type, error code, payload, and a one-click replay link.

How it works

How does Webhook Guardian monitor Stripe webhooks?

We poll the Stripe Events API every 5 minutes using read-only access. No proxy, no DNS changes, no interception.

  1. 01

    Connect via Stripe Connect OAuth

    Click "Add integration" → Stripe in your dashboard. You're redirected to Stripe's OAuth page where you grant read_only scope. Takes 60 seconds.

    # Scope requested
    read_only · No write access · Revoke from Stripe anytime
  2. 02

    We poll Stripe's delivery logs every 5 minutes

    Using the Stripe Events API, we read the delivery status of every webhook attempt across all your configured endpoints — without intercepting a single request.

    # Polling interval
    every 5 min · All event types · All endpoints

    Alert fires with everything you need

    The moment a failure is detected, Slack gets a Block Kit message with event type, HTTP error, retry count, payload preview, and a direct replay link.

    # Example: invoice.payment_failed
    500 · retried 3× · payload attached · replay →

    Replay with one click

    From the alert or dashboard, replay any failed webhook to the original endpoint. Full audit log stored for 7–90 days depending on your plan.

FAQ

Stripe webhook monitoring — questions answered

Why do Stripe webhooks fail silently?
Stripe retries failed webhooks up to 72 hours using an exponential backoff schedule. During this window there is no alert to you — Stripe only sends an email after all retries are exhausted. Webhook Guardian detects the first failure within 5 minutes so you can act before customers are impacted.
What Stripe permissions does Webhook Guardian request?
Read-only scope via Stripe Connect. We can read your webhook delivery logs from the Events API — nothing else. No access to payment methods, customer PII, or any write operations.
How quickly does Webhook Guardian detect a failed Stripe webhook?
Within 5 minutes on all paid plans. We poll every 5 minutes and fire the alert immediately on detecting a new failure — before Stripe has even sent its second retry.
Can Webhook Guardian replay a failed Stripe webhook?
Yes. From the Slack alert or dashboard, click the replay link to re-trigger delivery from Stripe to your original endpoint. The attempt is logged with timestamp, response status, and outcome.
Which Stripe event types does it monitor?
All of them — every event type across every endpoint you have configured in Stripe. No extra configuration required.
