Hi @pfaffman

Basically I’ve built an endpoint that processes webhooks triggered from a specific category.

Postman is normally my go to, but didn’t want to hassle of generating a signature for each one (although admittedly, I could disable it temporarily).

My thought process was to some how manually trigger a webhook and just let the script do it’s job as it normally would. But certainly open to ideas - moreso when it makes life easier!
