Hi @walter_jiang,

Try adjusting your .env file. Include your url as the webhook tunnel and webhook url.

WEBHOOK\_TUNNEL\_URL=[https://yoururl](https://yoururl)  
WEBHOOK\_URL=[https://yoururl](https://yoururl)

Best,

Robert

If you’re trying to connect a 3rd party service to one of your webhooks running on your localhost (127.0.0.1), then you have to enable the tunnel feature. Technically you need to expose your local instance to the internet:
