ngrok

To test webhooks locally, you can use ngrok to expose your local server to the internet. Follow these steps:

1. Install ngrok by following the instructions on the ngrok website.

2. Start your local server:

npm start

3. In a new terminal window, start ngrok on the port your local server is running (e.g., 3000):

ngrok http 3000

4. ngrok will provide a forwarding URL. Use this URL to configure your webhook endpoints. For example:

Forwarding                    https://abcd1234.ngrok.io -> http://localhost:3000

5. Set the webhook URL in your Sinch service to the ngrok forwarding URL.

Now, your local server can receive webhook events from Sinch services.
