Greetings, @JagLoop99 ,

Happy to offer a suggestion here! To test whether WebHook events are being sent, you can use a tool like [RequestBin](https://www.requestbin.com/). You can generate an endpoint and trigger the Webhook event, then check the Request Bin logs to confirm that the request arrived :

If the WebHook was received successfully by RequestBin, then you can rule out that whether Webhooks events are being sent or not.

**We also recommend you consider:**

- Review any port/channel filters you have applied
- Make sure the URL you have configured is publicly available

Here’s a helpful developer forum for you may find helpful:

> Hey @aseem, Thank you for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum. Please try testing with something like [Request Bin](https://requestbin.com/) to confirm if the issue is with the endpoint or Zoom itself. You’ll also want to make sure that your endpoint is publicly accessible and HTTPS secured. Further, make sure that it returns a 200 OK status on receipt of an event. Let me know if that helps. Thanks, Max

Let me know if this helps.

Best,  
Donte
