Hi @manjinder, here are a few resources to help: - [How to set up Webhooks in Nylas API v3 using Pipedream](https://www.nylas.com/blog/how-to-set-up-webhooks-in-nylas-api-v3-using-pipedream/) - [Developer Dashboard](https://dashboard-v3.nylas.com/): create webhooks manually and confirm if the webhook is registered: ![Screenshot 2024-06-14 at 11.23.11 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/nylas3/original/1X/977f6554254796866b9b453c9dc830f18d203c31.png) ---

Hello @manjinder while not entirely related, I posted a blog on how to use Ruby and Sinatra to create and read webhooks 🙂 > **[How to create and read Google Webhooks using Ruby](https://www.nylas.com/blog/how-to-create-and-read-google-webhooks-using-ruby/)** > > Create and read your Google webhooks using Ruby and Sinatra, and publish them using Koyeb. Here's the full guide. ---

@ram @Blag I am similarly stuck - I want to set up a webhook and to test it with my app running locally on my machine, I set up an ngrok endpoint. But when I plug in that ngrok endpoint into the “Webhook URL” field of the “Create a webhook” page on the developer portal, I get the error message “Webhook URL is not secure.” How can I set up and test my webhook on my machine locally using ngrok (or some alternative to ngrok)? There has to be a way to test it locally?? ---

@philseeman For localhost, Bruno is a great alternative 🕶 Here’s a blog post that talks about it [How to create and read webhooks with PHP, Koyeb, and Bruno | Nylas](https://www.nylas.com/blog/how-to-create-and-read-webhooks-with-php-koyeb-and-bruno/) There’s also [https://hookdeck.com/](https://hookdeck.com/) which is similar to ngrok Now, there are free web alternatives and my favorite ones are [https://www.koyeb.com/](https://www.koyeb.com/) and [https://render.com/](https://render.com/) All that said, you can use this endpoint [Nylas v3 Administration API docs | Nylas Docs](https://developer.nylas.com/docs/api/v3/admin/#post-/v3/webhooks/mock-payload) to get mock payloads so that you can know what to expect from a webhook ---

Thanks very much for the quick reply and the info, @Blag! I will definitely check out the alternatives you mention. Do you know why these other services are allowed but ngrok is not? I already pay almost $100/year for ngrok; it’s sad that I can’t use it with Nylas. ---

@philseeman Sadly…I guess we used to recommend ngrok to test webhooks, and people start using it or abusing it in some cases…that’s why they don’t link like us very much 😅 ---

Interesting! In any case, thanks again for the recommendation - I got Hookdeck up and running quickly and it works perfectly to allow me to test my webhook processing function locally. ---
