**Description**  
I’m working on creating a chatbot, and I’m having trouble getting through the first few steps. All I’m hoping to do is be able to test the app locally.

**Error**  
When I click “Install” under “test the app locally”, I am taken to an error page reading: Invalid redirect: [https://zoom.us/oauth/authorize?response\_type=code&client\_id=Nj6GBOWHSwauwfd74kByQ&redirect\_uri=https://www.connorleggett.net/](https://zoom.us/oauth/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=Nj6GBOWHSwauwfd74kByQ&redirect_uri=https://www.connorleggett.net/) (4,700)

The redirect\_uri specified is a valid site, and it’s whitelisted within the app. I have tried changing this overall URL with no success, and I’m also having trouble understanding what the purpose of this URL (“Redirect URL for OAuth”) is.

**Which App Type (OAuth / Chatbot / JWT / Webhook)?**  
Chatbot

**Which Endpoint/s?**  
At the moment, the problem occurs before I can try a URL

**How To Reproduce (If applicable)**  
Steps to reproduce the behavior:  
Create standard chat app with the specified “Redirect URL for OAuth”

**Screenshots (If applicable)**  
N/A

**Additional context**  
I’m pretty new to this process, so any help would be appreciated!

Hey @cjleggett,

We believe this to be a bug. Can you share the name of your Chatbot App?

Thanks and apologies this is happening.

Hey @cjleggett,

It looks like you have the wrong redirect url. It should be your domain like in the whitelist, not the [Zoom authorize url.](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/auth/oauth#step-1-request-user-authorization)

Thanks,  
Tommy
