Ngrok is our favourite tool for solving this problem. Once started, it provides a unique URL on the ngrok.io domain which will forward incoming requests to your local development environment. To start, head over to the ngrok download page and grab the binary for your operating system: https://ngrok.com/download Once downloaded, make sure your Express application is running, and then start ngrok using the command ./ngrok http 3000. Your unique ngrok domain name will be visible on the "Forwarding" line. It should look like "https://XXXXXXXXX.ngrok.io". If everything is working correctly, you should be able to open that domain name in your browser and see your Express application's "Hello World!" message displayed at your new ngrok URL. Anytime you’re working on your Twilio application and need a URL for a webhook, use ngrok to get a publicly accessible URL like this one. === BUILD IN YOUR FAVOURITE LANGUAGE === JAVASCRIPT - https://www.twilio.com/docs/voice/tutorials/how-to-respond-to-incoming-phone-calls-node-js?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=project_saiyan&utm_content=voice_video_3 C#/.NET - https://www.twilio.com/docs/voice/tutorials/how-to-respond-to-incoming-phone-calls-csharp?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=project_saiyan&utm_content=voice_video_3 PYTHON - https://www.twilio.com/docs/voice/tutorials/how-to-respond-to-incoming-phone-calls-python?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=project_saiyan&utm_content=voice_video_3 RUBY - https://www.twilio.com/docs/voice/tutorials/how-to-respond-to-incoming-phone-calls-ruby?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=project_saiyan&utm_content=voice_video_3 JAVA - https://www.twilio.com/docs/voice/tutorials/how-to-respond-to-incoming-phone-calls-java?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=project_saiyan&utm_content=voice_video_3 PHP - https://www.twilio.com/docs/voice/tutorials/how-to-respond-to-incoming-phone-calls-php?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=project_saiyan&utm_content=voice_video_3 === UPGRADE PROMO CODE === Use this Promo Code to upgrade from a trial account.
