The frontend URL is essential for webhooks and app triggers to work. It must be accessible to third parties to send data.
Setting Webhook (Frontend URL):
The default URL is set to the machine’s IP address. To ensure proper operation, ensure that this address is accessible or specify an AP_FRONTEND_URL environment variable.
One possible solution for this is using a service like ngrok (https://ngrok.com/), which can be used to expose the frontend port (4200) to the internet.
