Listen for Events (Development)

Listen for webhook events in real-time using WebSocket connection. This command establishes a WebSocket connection to receive webhook events and can forward them to a local endpoint for development. 
# Listen for all webhook events
ahasend webhooks listen

# Use existing webhook
ahasend webhooks listen --webhook-id abcd1234-5678-90ef-abcd-1234567890ab

# Forward events to local endpoint
ahasend webhooks listen --forward-to http://localhost:3000/webhook

# Filter specific event types
ahasend webhooks listen --events message.opened,message.clicked

# Slim output (only event types)
ahasend webhooks listen --slim-output

# Skip SSL verification for local endpoints
ahasend webhooks listen --forward-to https://localhost:3000/webhook --skip-verify

​
Listen Flags

FlagDescription
--webhook-idUse existing webhook instead of creating temporary one
--forward-toLocal endpoint to forward events to
--eventsFilter specific events (client-side filtering)
--slim-outputSlim down the payload for console output
--skip-verifySkip SSL certificate verification for local endpoints
The command automatically generates a webhook secret for signing forwarded events using the standard-webhooks specification. It also handles disconnections with buffered event replay.

​
Trigger Test Events (Development)

Manually trigger webhook events for testing: 
# Trigger single event
ahasend webhooks trigger webhook_1234567890abcdef \
  --events message.delivered

# Trigger multiple events
ahasend webhooks trigger webhook_1234567890abcdef \
  --events message.delivered,message.opened,message.clicked

# Trigger all events
ahasend webhooks trigger webhook_1234567890abcdef \
  --all-events
The trigger command is only available in development environments for testing webhook integrations.
