24 alternatives to Trigger Webhooks from Postgres

We just released a small open-source tool which enables you to fire HTTP requests from Postgres triggers. One of the things we’re using it for now is to send Slack messages when a new user is created and wanted to see what the community thinks as we explore more use cases!

Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. Trigger Webhooks from Postgres launched in 2023; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

    Hey HN, Some of you were really interested in Postgres logging with pgAudit in my previous post here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37082827 So I built this logger: https://rocketgraph.io/logger-demo using pgAudit to show you what can be done with Postgres auditing. It offers some powerful features like "get me all the CREATE queries that ran in the past hour". These are generated by AWS RDS Instance running on my Rocketgraph account. Then they are forwarded to Cloudwatch for complex querying. In the future we can connect these logs to slack so you can…

    Hey HN, stripe-no-webhooks is an open-source library that syncs your Stripe payments data to your own Postgres database: https://github.com/pretzelai/stripe-no-webhooks. Here's a demo video: https://youtu.be/cyEgW7wElcs Why is this useful? (1) You don't have to figure out which webhooks you need or write listeners for each one. The library handles all of that. This follows the approach of libraries like dj-stripe in the Django world (https://dj-stripe.dev/). (2) Stripe's API has a 100 rpm rate limit. If you're checking subscription status…

    Debugging webhooks and transactional emails can be slow and usually requires multiple tools. I built HookBox to solve this problem, providing instant endpoints, temporary inboxes, real-time capture, and request replay so both can be tested in one place. Would love to hear your feedback! — Egret

    Hi HN, we're excited to share our open source tool with the community! Inquery is a utility for Postgres that triggers webhooks when rows are inserted, updated, or deleted. It uses database triggers that send low-latency websocket messages to a Go application. This application then calls any configured webhooks with a JSON payload that includes specified values from the database row. Let us know if you have any feedback or questions!

    Hello HN, Lucas and Soheil here from Praxos (https://mypraxos.com/)! We’ve been working on an AI personal assistant for a while now, and today we're sharing about our new webhooks feature with you. You can now add webhooks and triggers by asking Praxos over text or voice to set them up for you. Webhooks listen for conditions that, when they happen, trigger another action. Webhooks can execute one time or be indefinite. They can execute any action currently supported by Praxos. They are implemented for email and calendar (Gmail, Outlook), Notion, Slack, Discord, Trello,…

    I've been an on-call engineer at startups where "incident management" meant someone panic-creating a Slack channel called #fire-fire-fire, or all incidents handled in the #incidents channel at the same time... and the postmortem was whatever someone remembered to write in Notion three days later. So I built a Slack bot to fix my own workflow. Figured I'd share it. What it does: "/incident start sev2 API latency spike" creates a dedicated channel, invites whoever's on-call, pins the details, and starts recording a timeline. When you run "/incident resolve", it uses GPT-4 to analyze…

    I needed real-time updates in a web UI whenever PostgreSQL table rows change, so I built PgHook. It's a 23 MB Docker image (10.1 MB compressed), .NET9 AOT-compiled, that streams logical replication events and sends them to a configurable webhook. In my setup, the webhook converts events to SignalR messages that push updates to the UI. I know about Debezium but I needed something minimal, and I like playing with csharp.
