Prerequisites
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*   [A Remix project, set up with Trigger.dev](https://trigger.dev/docs/guides/frameworks/remix)
    
*   [cURL](https://curl.se/)
     installed on your local machine. This will be used to send a POST request to your webhook handler.

Adding the webhook handler
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The webhook handler in this guide will be an API route. Create a new file `app/routes/api.webhook-handler.ts` or `app/routes/api.webhook-handler.js`. In your new file, add the following code:

/api/webhook-handler.ts

    import type { ActionFunctionArgs } from "@remix-run/node";
    import { tasks } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
    import { helloWorldTask } from "src/trigger/example";
    
    export async function action({ request }: ActionFunctionArgs) {
      const payload = await request.json();
    
      // Trigger the helloWorldTask with the webhook data as the payload
      await tasks.trigger<typeof helloWorldTask>("hello-world", payload);
    
      return new Response("OK", { status: 200 });
    }
    

This code will handle the webhook payload and trigger the ‘Hello World’ task.

Triggering the task locally
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now that you have a webhook handler set up, you can trigger the ‘Hello World’ task from it. We will do this locally using cURL.

Run your Remix app and the Trigger.dev dev server

First, run your Remix app.

npm

pnpm

yarn

    npm run dev
    

Then, open up a second terminal window and start the Trigger.dev dev server:

npm

pnpm

yarn

    npx trigger.dev@latest dev

Trigger the webhook with some dummy data

To send a POST request to your webhook handler, open up a terminal window on your local machine and run the following command:

If `http://localhost:5173` isn’t the URL of your locally running Remix app, replace the URL in the below command with that URL instead.

    curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"Name": "John Doe", "Age": "87"}' http://localhost:5173/api/webhook-handler
    

This will send a POST request to your webhook handler, with a JSON payload.

Check the task ran successfully

After running the command, you should see a successful dev run and a 200 response in your terminals.If you now go to your [Trigger.dev dashboard](https://cloud.trigger.dev/)
, you should also see a successful run for the ‘Hello World’ task, with the payload you sent, in this case; `{"name": "John Doe", "age": "87"}`.
