Hi all,

If I don't have a server or I don't want to burden an existing server with a frequently firing webhook, how else can I use and react to webhooks? What are my other options?

Thanks. Does this only open a tunnel to my localhost though? What if I want something running indefinitely in the cloud?

not sure i understand your requirements. if you want it to run indefinitely in the cloud, you should rent your own server from a hosting provider, but i thought you said you didn't want to do that? maybe i misunderstood

you can also run your own server not in the cloud with ngrok (or any other kind of tunneling) on it
