Hey there, I am building an AI receptionist for a plumbing company and I’m trying to connect my Webhook from Zapier to a VAPI tool like a function or an API request. The problem is when I enter the web hookURL and test it it says network failed even though I’ve used other testers like reqbin and it works. Anyone know a fix?

You might want to take a look at using Make instead of Zapier. We've made a bunch of updates to the Vapi app in Make so that Tool building is now WAY easier. Take a look at [my recent blog post](https://www.make.com/en/blog/make-vapi-powerful-combination-for-conversational-ai) for more details. PS - extra bonus is that Make almost always works out more cost effective than Zapier

Hi Aryan ®, If you need help setting up or troubleshooting your Vapi webhook integration, here are some key steps and considerations: 1. **Set Up Local Webhook Forwarding**: - Use the

vapi listen

command for local testing (

vapi listen --forward-to localhost:3000/webhook

). - Employ a tunneling solution like ngrok to expose your local server (

ngrok http 4242

). 2. **Update Your Webhook URLs**: - Once the public URL is obtained from ngrok, update your Vapi Dashboard with this URL for webhook configurations. 3. **Test Webhook Events**: - Trigger events in your Vapi environment to ensure they're being received and forwarded correctly to your local setup. 4. **Troubleshooting**: - Ensure your local server is running. - Verify the correct port and endpoint path in your configurations. - Use tools like

curl

to test your endpoint directly if needed. You can follow [this guide](https://docs.vapi.ai/cli/webhook) for detailed instructions on setting up local webhook testing.
