# Creating Webhook Handlers
## Overview
Create secure webhook receiver endpoints with HMAC signature verification, idempotent event processing, and automatic retry handling. Support ingestion from providers like Stripe, GitHub, Twilio, and Slack with provider-specific signature validation schemes and payload parsing.
## Prerequisites
- Web framework with raw body access (Express with `express.raw()`, FastAPI with `Request.body()`)
- Webhook provider credentials: signing secret or shared secret key
- Persistent storage for idempotency tracking (Redis or database table for processed event IDs)
- Queue system for async processing (optional: Bull, Celery, SQS)
- ngrok or similar tunnel for local development testing
