You have to create an REST endpoint on your backend and point the webhook to it.

Hi,

You first need to understand the concept of Webhook. You cannot test it with curl or Postman, becasuse those are not REST API endpoints. Those are REST API clients, to perform REST operations. Just as the webhook.  
You need a REST API endpoint to receive REST API operations from a client. That client could be curl, Postman or OpenVidu Webhook.
