## Configure Callback URL

In `Development -> Callback Configuration`, configure callback URL.

After entering values, move focus out of the input box to trigger validation. If validation passes, the confirm button on the right becomes clickable.

Then restart AstrBot.

## Done

AstrBot should now be connected. If messages do not respond immediately, wait 1-2 minutes, restart AstrBot, and test again.

## Appendix: Reverse Proxy Setup

If you are new to reverse proxy, Caddy is recommended:

1. Install Caddy: <https://caddy2.dengxiaolong.com/docs/install>
2. Configure reverse proxy: <https://caddy2.dengxiaolong.com/docs/quick-starts/reverse-proxy>

Caddy can automatically apply TLS certificates for Webhook access.
