Remote webhooks?

Hello,
I’m having problems setting up an automation with a webhook.
I followed the instructions in this post: Sync your Alexa/Todoist shopping list to the Home Assistant shopping list!
But when I try to use my webhook in Todoist I see the warning message in the logs:

WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.webhook] Received remote request for local webhook -lCF2sAP3TK3u3GqFk2nnhkhn

That causes the automation to never be triggered. And nothing shows in the automation traces either.

How can I allow remote applications to execute my webhook?

In your automation, next to your webhook trigger you should see a settings/gear icon. Click on it and a menu will pop up. Last option there is “only accessible from the local network” and is checked/selected by default. You will need to unselect it.

Thank you! I completely missed the gear icon :smiley:
