I am working on braintree and I want to send custom email notifications to my customers as I am working with recurring billing, so every month these custom notifications should be send to all users. For this I have to use webhooks to retrieve currently ocuured event and then send email notification according to webhook's response. (I think this is only solution in this case, If anyone know another possible solution please suggest). I want to test webhooks at my localhost first, And I have tried to create a new webhook and specified the localhost path as destination to retrieve webhooks. But this shows a error "Destination is not verified"..........
My path is : "http://127.0.0.1:81/webhook/Accept"
These are some of the tools that can be used during development of webhooks :
1) PostCatcher,
2) RequestBin,
3) ngrok,
4) PageKite and
5) LocalTunnel

I work at Braintree. If you need more help, please get in touch with our support team.
In order to test webhooks, your app needs to be able to be reached by the Braintree Gateway. A localhost
address isn't. Try using your external IP address and make sure the port on the correct computer can be reached from the internet.
Take a look at the Braintree webhook guide for more info on setting up webhooks.
You can use PutsReq to simulate the response you want and do your end-to-end test in development.
For quick 'n dirty testing:

For more formal testing (e.g. continuous integration):
https://www.runscope.com/
If you have a online server you may forward port from your computer to that server.
ssh -nNT -R 9090:localhost:3000 root@yourvds.com
And then specify webhook as http://yourvds.com:9090/webhook
all requests will be forwarded to you machine, you will be able to see logs
I know this is an old question, but according to the docs, you can use this code to test your webhook code:
Dictionary<String, String> sampleNotification = gateway.WebhookTesting.SampleNotification(
WebhookKind.SUBSCRIPTION_WENT_PAST_DUE, "my_id"
);
WebhookNotification webhookNotification = gateway.WebhookNotification.Parse(
sampleNotification["bt_signature"],
sampleNotification["bt_payload"]
);
webhookNotification.Subscription.Id;
// "my_id"
