Is there any way to set the localhost in the “URL to Publish” section? I need to test my localhost url and looks like its not possible. Do you recommend any tool to create a fix url  temporary while I’m running my test ? I read about ngrok for example but I’m not sure if its secure.

Any Connect listener must be exposed to the internet in order to receive incoming messages. Using a throwaway service like webhookapp.com or webhook.site are good ways to check out listener traffic before you’re able to stand up a proper listener.

maybe you can use https://ngrok.com/  publish you localhost api. or you can use https://webhook.site/ to get push the JSON data for reference.

I appreciate your comments. I had not heard of webhook.site before. I have tried it, and it does exactly what I need right now. Thank you very much.
