approvalgate
Approval layer
I almost sent $4,200 to the wrong customer
Human approval for risky webhooks.
A Stripe webhook fired, my automation ran, and I caught it 2 seconds before it went through. Pure luck.So I built a checkpoint.
No SDK. Swap your webhook URL, define your rules, done.
incoming webhook
{
"event": "charge.refunded",
"amount": 4200,
"customer": "wrong_acme"
}slack notification
[approve] [reject] refund $4,200 to wrong_acme?
The problem
Webhooks are fire-and-forget
The $4,200 refund
Almost sent to the wrong customer
Caught it by luck. 2 seconds later, gone.
The bulk update
12,000 rows about to change
Wrong WHERE clause. Production data.
The email blast
Churned users instead of active
Wrong segment. Wrong message. Wrong timing.
The AI agent
Tried to delete instead of archive
LLMs make mistakes. Yours shouldn't be permanent.
Automation is great until it isn't.
Some actions deserve a human checkpoint.
How it works
5 minutes to set up. No code changes.
https://approvalgate.dev/g/xK9mP2if amount > 500 or action = "delete" → require approvalSee the payload. Approve or reject in one click.
Use cases
For the 5% of webhooks that matter
Stripe refunds over $100
Catch the edge cases before money leaves.
if amount > 100Bulk database operations
Backfills, deletes, mass updates. Human eyes first.
if records > 500AI agent actions
Let agents draft. You approve what touches production.
if action = "write"Mass email sends
Wrong segment = wrong message. Check first.
if audience > 1000Being honest
What ApprovalGate is not
Not a filter
Filters auto-approve or reject. This pauses and asks a human.
Not a queue
It's not about retries or ordering. It's about judgment.
Not for every webhook
Use it for the 5% that can hurt you. Let the rest fly through.
