Hello. I have deployed my rasa bot in google cIoud VM. I have added socketio configuration to credentials.yml file and vm ip address in html script(for webchat). But still my bot doesn’t answer with socketio. It works with rest api. But I want to use socketio. Please help me.
Regards SKS

@sks check your socketUrl it should have some IP address with https or http; I hope you must be aware of this GitHub repo : [https://github.com/botfront/rasa-webchat](https://github.com/botfront/rasa-webchat)@sks Even I can see there is not version mention in the code
```
"https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/rasa-webchat@1.0.1/lib/index.js"),
```
@sks I’d recommend just first try run the rasa webchat snippet code on local machine and then try to implement over GCP.
I hope you got my points?
