Primary keyword

twilio webhook localhost

Verification checkpoint

Verify X-Twilio-Signature and reject mismatched callback URLs.

Quick start pattern

Command

instatunnel webhook init --provider twilio --port 3000 --path /webhooks/twilio

Public endpoint example

https://your-subdomain.instatunnel.my/webhooks/twilio

Provider field mapping

Public URLhttps://your-subdomain.instatunnel.my/webhooks/twilio
Local portUse the port from your local app command.
Success checkVerify X-Twilio-Signature and reject mismatched callback URLs.

Failure fixes

If the provider cannot reach the endpoint, confirm the local app is running and restart the tunnel with the same subdomain.

If events arrive but fail verification, compare the exact public URL and signature secret configured in the provider dashboard.

If retries create duplicates, store the provider event ID before performing side effects.
