Hi Prasanthi,
To start instances you’ll need to use gRPC APIs, see:

Hi Joe,

Is it possible to start instances with REST API alone?

@Jenneffer_Jiminit yes! With our new Inbound Connectors, see:

Hi Joe,
I use this diagram to test my HTTP webhook. I follow the documentation to configure it but after I deploy the diagram, I didn’t see any URL generated in the Webhook tab. It said “Webhook is not active in any cluster”.

Thanks in advance.

@Jenneffer_Jiminit are you using the latest Connector bundle? The latest should be 0.17.1

Problem solved. misconfigure my cluster to use the Zeebe 8.2 (alpha version). I re-create my cluster to use the stable version then its work. Thank you
