# Using a Webhook during development

If you run the webhook on you local development machine, it will probably not be accessible on the Internet.

We suggest using tunneling services such as [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/) or [localtunnel](https://github.com/localtunnel/localtunnel) to expose your webhook. You will then have to configure the tunnel URL in the Manager or with the API.

Example with localtunnel:

```bash
lt --port 8000 -s my-wis-webhook
your url is: https://my-wis-webhook.loca.lt
```

The URL you must configure in the manager is `https://my-wis-webhook.loca.lt`.

**Warning: you MUST visit `https://my-wis-webhook.loca.lt` at leat once in your browser before being able to use the tunnel. It's a security measure of localtunnel.**
