How to deploy the solution

[MasterBehind]

Hi,
I have created meta developer accout, app, and added whatsapp product with the right permissions, created user permenant token.
I got stuck into the following two points

• Configuring Web Hook
• In relation to the above, i need to setup the callback URL, which means, correct me if i am wrong, deploy this sample solution in my site, for this i dont have the right experience to do so, so i need some one to help me in step-by-step on how to do that.

much appreciated in advance

Hi,

if you are using azure cloud service you can publish directly from visual studio using web deploy publishing settings which you can get from creating an app service. Here is the link for more information Deploy ASP.NET Core apps to Azure App Service

if you are using other hosting services, you have to check if you can host asp net core apps on their platform and also ensure .net runtime is installed there.

You can also host the solution with azure functions if possible.

The callback URL will work as long as your solution is hosted and secure with ssl.

Hi,

I am using normal web hosting, they have asp.net, and i am running another .net application overthere, so it has .net runtime as well, now i have created one virtual direcotry https://www.print-ley.com/EndPoint, but it hroughs error as below

Any thing i need to do

Mostly it can be caused when the web hosting does not have the latest .net runtime installed. You can request them to install for you the latest runtime or you can publish with the runtime using self contained option

tried with self-contained but still getting the same error, BTW, what should i put as "Verify Token", and also what are the other possiblities of such issue?

Where in the code? Which file?

I did not specify any string in the code, i took your code as is and published it

[gabrieldwight]

My code sample was just for testing but you cn check on the web hook controller

[gabrieldwight]

You will see a get request method that contains parameter related to hub token string

if you are testing with test phone number, you will need to send the hello world template message from meta developer portal

please note that my call back URL is
https://print-ley.com/whatsapp

and i am trying to setup a webhook on the above URL but it shows this error
"The URL couldn't be validated. Response does not match challenge, expected value="481395359", received="\u003C!DOCTYPE html>\n\u003Ch..."

Where is the problem?

[gabrieldwight]

It needs that value; 481395359 passed as the verify token
