# Explain Payload

> Get a plain English explanation of any webhook event

Hookdrop can read any captured webhook event and describe what happened in plain English — no JSON parsing required.

## Use it from the dashboard

Click any event in your dashboard and select **Explain**. Hookdrop sends the payload and headers to the AI and returns a short, human-readable summary.

<Tip>Use this to quickly triage events without reading raw JSON — especially useful when you're handling a high volume of events or debugging in a hurry.</Tip>

## Use it from the API

```bash theme={null}
GET /api/endpoints/:id/events/:eventId/ai/explain
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN
```

### Example response

```json theme={null}
{
  "explanation": "A customer just completed a payment of ₦15,000 for order #1234. The payment was processed successfully via card ending in 4242."
}
```

## When it's useful

* Working with an unfamiliar provider whose payload structure you don't know yet
* Quickly confirming what an event represents before writing code to handle it
* Auditing past events to understand what triggered specific behavior in your system
