⚡ Webhook Testing
Today was about proving that TriggerDM can handle the chaos.
We set up RSpec as the testing framework. Every webhook event from Instagram needs to be processed cleanly, so the tests had to be rock solid.
We wrote simulations of incoming events. Comments dropping. Media updates firing. Each one pushed through the system to make sure TriggerDM listens and reacts the way it should.
API keys were locked down with Rails encrypted credentials. No leaks. No shortcuts. Security is baked in, even during tests.
Finally, we fired a test webhook event. The system caught it, processed it, and confirmed the flow works. TriggerDM is listening.
Why Testing Matters
Small and medium businesses don’t have room for failure. A broken feature means wasted time, lost sales, and frustrated customers. Testing makes sure the software works the first time and keeps working as the business grows.
- Reliability: SMEs rely on lean teams. If the app fails, there’s no safety net.
- Trust: Clients need confidence that their data and workflows won’t break.
- Speed: Bugs slow everything down. Testing keeps delivery fast without cutting corners.
- Scalability: As SMEs grow, tested systems scale cleanly instead of collapsing under pressure.
For TriggerDM, testing isn’t just about clean code. It’s about giving creators software they can trust to run their business without drama.
This is how we build confidence. Test. Verify. Repeat.
