Describe the problem/error/question

I try to use ngrok and cloudflare so that SLACK can recognize when I REACT to a message and send that update to GOOGLE SHEET but both of these did not work, I spent hours trying to get NGROK and CLOUDFLARE to work With help chatgpt, but they were just dead ends with CHATGPT basically looping and give me processes that do not work.

Is there any way for this to work with a local hosted n8n version that is hosted on the computer?

Information on your n8n setup

  • n8n version: Latest docker desktop

Ok… try first only Ngrok since it act already as a tunnel.

Once the tunnel is up, get the url from CLI where did you start the service, and set in n8n env environment the variable

WEBHOOK_URL=YOUR_NGROK_URL

Then you can setup in any service the callBackUrl your trigger production URL.

Cheers!

Ngrok got really messy, at times it told me to use the local host link and other times it was saying to create a tunnel address through cloudflare (I think it was a few days ago and I don’t remember).

Give you have any visual tutorial or any YouTube link that I can follow that would be nice and I can try it again.
