## Prerequisites

### Forge
For using this sample, you need an Autodesk developer credentials. Visit the [Forge Developer Portal](https://developer.autodesk.com), sign up for an account, then [create an app](https://developer.autodesk.com/myapps/create). For this new app, use `http://localhost:3000/api/forge/callback/oauth` as Callback URL. Finally take note of the **Client ID** and **Client Secret**. For localhost testing:
- FORGE\_CLIENT\_ID and set it to above-mentioned **Client ID**
- FORGE\_CLIENT\_SECRET and set it to above-mentioned **Client Secret**
- FORGE\_CALLBACK\_URL and set it to `http://localhost:3000/api/forge/callback/oauth`Now you need a local server to receive Webhook notifications, you can use ngrok as [described here](https://developer.autodesk.com/en/docs/webhooks/v1/tutorials/configuring-your-server/), then create a env var with the value (e.g. https://abc123.ngrok.io`)
- FORGE\_WEBHOOK\_URL
### Twilio
Create a [Twilio developer account](https://www.twilio.com). Create an phone number. Also, you will need the Account SID and Token. The following env vars are required:
- TWILIO\_ACCOUNT_SID
- TWILIO\_TOKEN
- TWILIO\_FROM\_NUMBER### Postmark
Create a [Postmark developer account](https://postmarkapp.com). Specify the **FROM** email, verify it. Take note of your Account ID. The following env vars are required:
- POSTMARK\_ACCOUNT\_ID
- POSTMARK\_FROM\_EMAIL### Slack
Create an app for [Slack API](https://api.slack.com/) on your company account to handle **Incoming webhooks** [see more here](https://api.slack.com/incoming-webhooks). At the UI, enter the value in the form of *T00000000/B00000000/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX*
## Running locally
Make sure to have [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org) installed. Clone this project or download it. It's recommended to install [GitHub desktop](https://desktop.github.com). To clone it via command line, use the following (Terminal on MacOSX/Linux, Git Shell on Windows):
```
git clone https://github.com/autodesk-forge/data.management-nodejs-webhook
```Set all all environment variables described on the **Setup** section using the following:
- Mac OSX/Linux (Terminal)
```
export VARIABLE_NAME=value
```- Windows (use Node.js command line from Start menu)
```
set VARIABLE_NAME=value
```Install the required packaged and run the application:
```
npm install
npm run dev
```Open the browser and go to [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000).
**Important:** do not use **npm start** locally, this is intended for PRODUCTION only with HTTPS (SSL) secure cookies.
## Deployment
A deployment should have the following environment variables defined (e.g. Heroku app settings):

### Deploy on Heroku
To deploy this application to Heroku, the **Callback URL** for Forge and Storage must use your `.herokuapp.com` address. After clicking on the button below, at the Heroku Create New App page, set your Client ID, Secret and Callback URL for Forge and respective storage.
[](https://heroku.com/deploy)
Watch [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oqa9O20Gj0c) on how deploy samples to Heroku.
## Known issues
BIM 360 Docs Hub names are comming with wrong formating, resulting in a wrong message. This issue is under investigation.
## Tips & tricks
For local development/testing, consider use [nodemon](https://www.npmjs.com/package/nodemon) package, which auto restart your node application after any modification on your code. To install it, use:
sudo npm install -g nodemon
Then, instead of npm run dev, use the following:
npm run nodemon
Which executes nodemon server.js --ignore www/, where the --ignore parameter indicates that the app should not restart if files under www folder are modified.
## Troubleshooting
After installing Github desktop for Windows, on the Git Shell, if you see a ***error setting certificate verify locations*** error, use the following:
git config --global http.sslverify "false"
