Hello Nicola. You need to first install ngrok on your machine. Check out ngrok.com/ for instructions on this. Once you have this installed, run the Node Js project using npm run dev. Take note of the port that it's running on, I believe its 3000 for this particular project. Next you need to expose your local webserver. Read about that here, dashboard.ngrok.com/get-started/tu... . The command you will need to run will be something like ./ngrok http 3000. 3000 here being the port the project is running on. Ngrok will expose your local server and give you a couple of links that are accessible on the internet. Copy the https link and thats what you will paste in the Twilio Whatsapp Sandbox page (twilio.com/console/sms/whatsapp/sa... ). Don't forget to add the bot's route. ie /api/bot
I'm sorry Newton for bothering you, When I run "npm run dev" it looks like I miss the file package.json (See log below)
In your article you talk about a package.json file where to add scripts. Are you referring to the package.json I find in the dialoflow fullfilment section or is it another file?
I think I'm missing something very important here. Sorry...

Hi Newton, Can you please detail more how to expose the local server with Ngrok. I'm totally new in this area, thank you.
