When a Workitem completes, Design Automation can notify our application. As the app is running locally (i.e. localhost), it's not reachable from the internet. ngrok tool creates a temporary address that channels notifications to our localhost address.
After downloading ngrok, run ngrok http 3000 -host-header="localhost:3000", then copy the http address into the FORGE_WEBHOOK_URL environment variable. For this sample, do not use the https address.
