I’m looking for samples of the user-triggered webhook payloads and wondered if there were examples anywhere? Is there a repository of sample webhook payloads anywhere?

Not that I know of. You can find the properties that are included in the payloads by looking at the serializers that begin with `web_hook` in this directory: [discourse/app/serializers at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/tree/master/app/serializers).

My normal method for checking a webhook’s payload is to configure a webhook to point to `http://example.com` and then perform an action through the site’s UI to trigger the webhook. The payload can then be seen from the webhooks Events list:

Ok great idea, thanks @simon!
