RelayFox

How to test Clerk webhooks locally

See Clerk user lifecycle events (user.created, session.created) as they fire, and forward them to your local handler to test just-in-time user sync.

  1. 1
    Create a free RelayFox URL on the homepage (no signup needed).
  2. 2
    Paste it as your webhook endpoint: Clerk Dashboard → Webhooks → Add Endpoint.
  3. 3
    Trigger an event (e.g. user.created) and watch it arrive live in RelayFox.
  4. 4
    Run the CLI to forward captured events to your local server:
    npx relayfox forward <endpoint-id> --to http://localhost:3000 --token rfx_...
  5. 5
    Inspect headers, body and replay any event as many times as you need.

RelayFox preserves the svix-signature header when forwarding, so Clerk's signature verification works against your local server unchanged.
