title: "Trigger tasks from Hookdeck webhooks"
sidebarTitle: "Hookdeck webhooks"
description: "This example demonstrates how to use Hookdeck to receive webhooks and trigger Trigger.dev tasks."
---
## Overview
This example shows how to use [Hookdeck](https://hookdeck.com) as your webhook infrastructure to trigger Trigger.dev tasks. Hookdeck receives webhooks from external services, and forwards them directly to the Trigger.dev API. This gives you the best of both worlds: Hookdeck's webhook management, logging, and replay capabilities, combined with Trigger.dev's reliable task execution.
## Key features
- Use Hookdeck as your webhook endpoint for external services
- Hookdeck forwards webhooks directly to Trigger.dev tasks via the API
- All webhooks are logged and replayable in Hookdeck
## Setting up Hookdeck
You'll configure everything in the [Hookdeck dashboard](https://dashboard.hookdeck.com). No code changes needed in your app.
### 1. Create a destination
In Hookdeck, create a new [destination](https://hookdeck.com/docs/destinations) with the following settings:
- **URL**: `https://api.trigger.dev/api/v1/tasks/<task-id>/trigger` (replace `<task-id>` with your task ID)
- **Method**: POST
- **Authentication**: Bearer token (use your `TRIGGER_SECRET_KEY` from Trigger.dev)
### 2. Add a transformation
Create a [transformation](https://hookdeck.com/docs/transformations) to wrap the webhook body in the `payload` field that Trigger.dev expects:
```javascript
addHandler("transform", (request, context) => {
request.body = { payload: { ...request.body } };
return request;
});
```
### 3. Create a connection
Create a [connection](https://hookdeck.com/docs/connections) that links your source (where webhooks come from) to the destination and transformation you created above.
## Task code
This task will be triggered when Hookdeck forwards a webhook to the Trigger.dev API.
```ts trigger/webhook-handler.ts
import { task } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
export const webhookHandler = task({
id: "webhook-handler",
run: async (payload: Record<string, unknown>) => {
// The payload contains the original webhook data from the external service
console.log("Received webhook:", payload);
// Add your custom logic here
},
});
```
## Testing your setup
To test everything is working:
1. Set up your destination, transformation, and connection in [Hookdeck](https://dashboard.hookdeck.com)
2. Send a test webhook to your Hookdeck source URL (use the Hookdeck Console or cURL)
3. Check the Hookdeck dashboard to verify the webhook was received and forwarded
4. Check the [Trigger.dev dashboard](https://cloud.trigger.dev) to see the successful run of your task
For more information on setting up Hookdeck, refer to the [Hookdeck Documentation](https://hookdeck.com/docs).
