Render API & Telnyx Messaging Profile Issue

[gh4E1NtQii]

Issue

After adding a number in VoIP Suite application and when prompted to Override Settings I clicked Yes. I noticed I was able to send text messages from VoIP Suite but could not receive them.

Log into Telnyx and checked the Messaging profile that gets added to the phone number which I just associated with VoIP Suite.

1. Login To Telnyx
2. Click Messaging on the left hand side
3. Under Configure your Messaging Profiles section find VoIP sms Web Application - There will be multiple if you have multiple Telnyx phone numbers.
4. Click the pencil icon
5. Scroll down to the Inbound Settings section
6. Under the Send a webhook to this URL: section you will see the URL for receiving sms text messages via the Render API. This is incorrect.

It is missing a forward slash in-between .com and api

Resolution

Change From
Send a webhook to this URL: https://voipsuite-xxxx.onrender.comapi/setting/receive-sms/telnyx

Change To
Send a webhook to this URL: https://voipsuite-xxxx.onrender.com/api/setting/receive-sms/telnyx

Once I made the above change, I was able to receive text messages to my Telnyx number on VoIP Suite

Anyone else seeing this in their experience?

I could replicate your issue.
It happens when you don't put a leading / in the environment variable BASE_URL in Heroku or Render.
So fix it, please make sure you have slash at the end of your url in Render under BASE_URL like https://subdomain.domain.com/

I will make sure I highlight this in the documentation and also fix it in the next update to add it automatically if someone forgets.
Thanks
