Hello everyone, I hosted rasa bot in a amazon virtual machine, and I do have a public ip. I can use it using rasa webchat interface in my company website. Now I am trying to connect my bot with facebook messenger, but when I provide the callbackurl it using the vm ip it shows the following error and i cannot verify and save the url. The error is highlighted using green box. Please help me to do this. Thank you so much in advance.

@technophile_2507 my guess is that facebook won’t want to send messages to an IP address. You’ll have to set up DNS (with SSL) so facebook can send requests to a proper domain name
