This creates a public URL to forward requests to your local server.
2. **Start the Vapi Listener**: Use the Vapi CLI to start a webhook listener that forwards events to your local server:
bash
vapi listen --forward-to localhost:3000/webhook
Ensure your local server is running on port 3000 or configure the forwarding as needed.
3. **Update Vapi Webhook URLs**: Go to your Vapi Dashboard and update the webhook URLs to point to the ngrok public URL. This would include the Assistant webhook URL, Phone number webhook URL, etc., depending on your setup:
Assistant webhook URL: https://abc123.ngrok.io
4. **Test and Debug**: Trigger webhook events by interacting with your Vapi setup (e.g., making calls). Use the provided tunnels to receive and log these events locally.
For more detailed setup and options, you can refer to the [Local Webhook Testing](https://docs.vapi.ai/cli/webhook) guide. This outline will guide you on how to configure your webhooks effectively in a local development environment.
