I followed the steps in the [GitHub - zoom/catbot: Send cat photos in Zoom Chat](https://github.com/zoom/catbot) site. But it doesn’t work. When I type the command in the Zoom client. It shows POST /command 404 Not Found error.

Hi @1058407384  
I am looking into this since I am able to run the app but don’t get any images back in the client.  
Have you had any luck so far?

A 404 on POST /command usually means Zoom can’t reach your endpoint. I’d double-check that your server is actually running and publicly accessible (for example via ngrok) and that the Command URL in your app settings exactly matches your /command route. Also make sure you reinstalled the app after updating the endpoint. It’s almost always a URL mismatch or the tunnel not running.
