Webhook Admin Panel

Django-CFG includes a built-in webhook administration panel in the payments app that automatically displays active ngrok URLs and webhook status.

Overview

The Webhook Admin Panel provides:

✅ Real-time Ngrok Status - See if tunnel is active ✅ Automatic URL Display - Current public ngrok URL ✅ Per-Provider Webhook URLs - URLs for Stripe, NowPayments, Telegram, etc. ✅ Webhook Events Log - History of all received webhooks ✅ Testing Tools - Test webhook endpoints directly

Enabling the Panel

1. Enable Payments App

# config.py
from django_cfg import DjangoConfig, NgrokConfig
 
class MyConfig(DjangoConfig):
    project_name: str = "My Project"
 
    # Enable payments app (includes webhook panel)
    enable_payments: bool = True
 
    # Enable ngrok
    ngrok: NgrokConfig = NgrokConfig(enabled=True)
 
config = MyConfig()

2. Run Migrations

# Create payments app tables
python manage.py migrate

3. Start Server with Ngrok

# Start Django with ngrok tunnel
python manage.py runserver_ngrok
 
# Output:
# ✅ Ngrok tunnel ready: https://abc123.ngrok.io
# Django development server is running at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
# Public URL: https://abc123.ngrok.io

API Reference

The webhook panel provides an API for programmatic access.

Get Webhook URLs

# In your Django code:
from django_cfg.apps.payments.services.integrations import get_webhook_url_for_provider
 
# Get webhook URL for specific provider
stripe_webhook = get_webhook_url_for_provider("stripe")
# "https://abc123.ngrok.io/api/webhooks/stripe/"
 
nowpayments_webhook = get_webhook_url_for_provider("nowpayments")
# "https://abc123.ngrok.io/api/webhooks/nowpayments/"
 
telegram_webhook = get_webhook_url_for_provider("telegram")
# "https://abc123.ngrok.io/api/webhooks/telegram/"

Check Ngrok Status

from django_cfg.modules.django_ngrok import is_tunnel_active, get_tunnel_url
 
# Check if tunnel is active
if is_tunnel_active():
    print(f"✅ Tunnel active: {get_tunnel_url()}")
else:
    print("⚠️ Tunnel not active")

List All Webhook URLs

from django_cfg.apps.payments.services.integrations.ngrok_service import get_all_webhook_urls
 
# Get dictionary of all webhook URLs
webhook_urls = get_all_webhook_urls()
 
# Returns:
# {
#     "stripe": "https://abc123.ngrok.io/api/webhooks/stripe/",
#     "nowpayments": "https://abc123.ngrok.io/api/webhooks/nowpayments/",
#     "telegram": "https://abc123.ngrok.io/api/webhooks/telegram/",
# }
 
for provider, url in webhook_urls.items():
    print(f"{provider}: {url}")

Built-in Integration

The payments app automatically integrates with ngrok:

Automatic URL Updates

# payments/services/integrations/ngrok_service.py (built-in!)
 
def get_webhook_url_for_provider(provider: str) -> str:
    """Automatically gets webhook URL for provider."""
    from django_cfg.modules.django_ngrok import get_webhook_url
    return get_webhook_url(f"/api/webhooks/{provider}/")
 
# Usage in payments code:
from django_cfg.apps.payments.services.integrations import get_webhook_url_for_provider
 
# Automatically correct URL!
nowpayments_webhook = get_webhook_url_for_provider("nowpayments")
# "https://abc123.ngrok.io/api/webhooks/nowpayments/"

Webhook Event Logging

All webhook events are automatically logged in the admin panel:

# Built-in webhook logging
from django_cfg.apps.payments.models import WebhookEvent
 
# Automatically created for each webhook
event = WebhookEvent.objects.create(
    provider="stripe",
    event_type="payment_intent.succeeded",
    payload=request.body,
    status="success",
    response_time_ms=45
)
 
# View all events in admin panel

Configuration

Custom Webhook Paths

ngrok: NgrokConfig = NgrokConfig(
    enabled=True,
    webhook_path="/webhooks/"  # Custom base path
)
 
# Webhook URLs will be:
# https://abc123.ngrok.io/webhooks/stripe/
# https://abc123.ngrok.io/webhooks/nowpayments/
# https://abc123.ngrok.io/webhooks/telegram/

Custom Provider Paths

# urls.py
from django.urls import path
from . import webhook_views
 
urlpatterns = [
    # Custom webhook paths
    path('webhooks/stripe/', webhook_views.stripe_webhook),
    path('webhooks/crypto/', webhook_views.nowpayments_webhook),  # Custom!
    path('webhooks/bot/', webhook_views.telegram_webhook),  # Custom!

Best Practices

1. Check Panel Before Testing

Always verify ngrok status in panel before testing webhooks:

# ✅ CORRECT - check panel first
# 1. Open http://localhost:8000/admin/payments/webhook/
# 2. Verify "Tunnel Active: Yes"
# 3. Copy webhook URLs
# 4. Configure external services

2. Monitor Webhook Events

Use the events log to debug webhook issues:

# View recent webhook events
# - Check response status
# - View payload details
# - Monitor response times
# - Debug failed webhooks

3. Use Test Feature

Test webhooks before configuring external services:

# ✅ CORRECT - test first
# 1. Click "Test" button in panel
# 2. Verify webhook endpoint responds correctly
# 3. Fix any issues
# 4. Then configure external services

Troubleshooting

Panel Shows “Tunnel Not Active”

# If panel shows tunnel not active:
 
# 1. Make sure you used runserver_ngrok
python manage.py runserver_ngrok  # NOT runserver!
 
# 2. Check ngrok configuration
# config.py
ngrok: NgrokConfig = NgrokConfig(
    enabled=True  # Must be True
)
 
# 3. Verify DEBUG=True
# Ngrok only works in development mode

Webhook URLs Not Displaying

# If webhook URLs not showing:
 
# 1. Ensure payments app is enabled
enable_payments: bool = True
 
# 2. Run migrations
python manage.py migrate
 
# 3. Restart server
python manage.py runserver_ngrok
