Hi,

It was all working perfectly fine before, but now I am getting the 405 'not allowed' results with ngrok. Not sure how to get it working again.

Steps I am taking
- running `ngrok http 4040` in terminal
- copying the url to postman and adding it the api call, resulting in 'webhook was set' in postman
- terminal gives back: POST/ 405 method not allowed

Tried this steps multiple times. What could be wrong?

Great tutorial btw, thanks
