Lindy Local Dev Loop

Overview

Lindy agents run on Lindy's managed infrastructure — you do not run agents locally. Local development focuses on building and testing the webhook receivers, callback handlers, and application code that Lindy agents interact with. Use ngrok or similar tunnels to expose local endpoints for Lindy webhook triggers.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+ or Python 3.10+
• ngrok or Cloudflare Tunnel for HTTPS tunneling
• Lindy account with at least one agent configured
• Completed lindy-install-auth setup

Instructions

Step 1: Create Webhook Receiver

// server.ts — Express webhook receiver for Lindy callbacks
import express from 'express';
import dotenv from 'dotenv';
dotenv.config();

const app = express();
app.use(express.json());

const WEBHOOK_SECRET = process.env.LINDY_WEBHOOK_SECRET;

// Verify Lindy webhook authenticity
function verifyWebhook(req: express.Request): boolean {
  const auth = req.headers.authorization;
  return auth === `Bearer ${WEBHOOK_SECRET}`;
}

// Receive Lindy agent callbacks
app.post('/lindy/callback', (req, res) => {
  if (!(req)) {
    .();
     res.().({ :  });
  }

  .(, .(req., , ));

  
   { taskId, result, status } = req.;
  .();

  res.({ :  });
});


app.(,  res.({ :  }));

app.(,  .());
