approvalgate
Approval layer
A webhook almost refunded $4,200 to the wrong customer
Put a human in front of risky webhooks.
A Stripe webhook fired, my automation ran, and I caught it 2 seconds before it went through. Pure luck.ApprovalGate pauses risky requests, shows you the payload, and waits for your OK.
No SDK. Swap your webhook URL. Define rules like amount > 500. 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 duplicate refund
Retries fired twice
Money went out. Now you're unwinding it.
The partner sync
Bad payload touched prod
Thousands of records updated.
The delete endpoint
Archive vs delete
One verb, very different outcome.
The AI agent
Wrote to production
LLMs hallucinate. Your data shouldn't.
Automation is great until it isn't.
The risky 5% deserves a human checkpoint.
How it works
5 minutes to set up. No code changes.
It sits between your trigger and your action.
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 can hurt you
Refunds, chargebacks, payouts
Stop money from leaving on a bad payload.
if amount > 100Partner syncs and imports
One bad payload can touch thousands of rows.
if records > 500AI agents writing to prod
Let agents draft. You approve what ships.
if action = "write"Mass emails and notifications
Wrong segment = instant trust damage.
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 doesn't fix retries or ordering. It's about judgment.
Not for latency-sensitive flows
If it must be instant, don't gate it. Gate the risky 5%.
