Clerk webhooks, without the lost events

Common problems, solved

Clerk uses svix-* header names, so Standard Webhooks libraries need extra mapping.

HookStead accepts both header styles; your app verifies one consistent signature.

A missed user.created event leaves a user without a row in your database.

Events are retried until your endpoint answers, and you can replay any of them.

Set up in five minutes

1. 01In the Clerk Dashboard, open Webhooks → Add Endpoint and paste your HookStead source URL.
2. 02Subscribe to the events you need (for example user.created) and create the endpoint.
3. 03Copy the signing secret into HookStead. Clerk signs with svix-* headers, which HookStead checks.
