Integrate AI chatbots with ultramsg

Step-by-Step Guide to Create a Webhook Using Ultramsg

1. Set Up Your Environment:

   • For local development, download and install ngrok.

2. Create a PHP File:

   • Create a file named test.php and add the following code:

     $data = file_get_contents("php://input");
     $event = json_decode($data, true);
     if(isset($event)) {
         $file = 'log.txt';
         $data = json_encode($event)."\n";
         file_put_contents($file, $data, FILE_APPEND | LOCK_EX);
     }
     

3. Upload to Your Server:

   • If using a server, upload test.php to your server. Your webhook URL will be: http://your-server/test.php

4. Using ngrok for Local Testing:

   • Save test.php in your localhost directory.
   • Start ngrok with the command:

     ngrok http 80
     

   • Note the generated URL (e.g., https://7647-115-83-121-164.ngrok.io).
   • Replace localhost in your URL with the ngrok URL: https://7647-115-83-121-164.ngrok.io/test.php

5. Configure Your Ultramsg Instance:

   • Go to your Ultramsg instance settings and paste your webhook URL.

6. Test Your Webhook:

   • You should now be able to receive webhooks, and they will be logged in log.txt on your server or local environment.
