Doc suggestion re: Whitelist URL on "App Credential" page

Description
I was going through the build-a-chatbot guide.
My end point happens to reside on a configured port number. On the “App Credential” page
when I just entered the domain prefix (i.e., https://www.acme.com) in “Whitelist URL” the test install was always failing. After much frustration I tried https://www.acme.com:8123 and things worked out.
If you confirm this then perhaps add that subtle detail to the help text below.
Thank you.

“Add URLs to be whitelisted for OAuth redirection to achieve improved security. Make sure to include either the entire or the prefix of the Redirect URL for OAuth.”

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

Which Endpoint/s?

Screenshots (If applicable)

Hi @breynoldszoom,

Thanks for raising the importance of making this clearer in our documentation. You’re correct in that you will need to also whitelist your redirect URL to ensure you don’t run into any errors.

Thanks,
Will

Thank you. The very important item to clarify is that the port number is needed too.

Hi @breynoldszoom,

Thank you for clarifying! We will take this into consideration in our next docs update.
