Node-RED: basics to bots - lab 3 - can't add Continuous Delivery
Per title, I'm doing the Node-RED: basics to bots course. In Lab 3 I'm trying to add Continuous Delivery to my stopped application. The set up is different to the screenshots (as I've noticed a few times, this course probably needs an update) but I can't hit "Create" on the Continuous Delivery Toolchain page since it is greyed out. Any reason why?
This may or may not be relevant, but I have noticed that the only region shown is US South and I'm running in the UK location.
Any thoughts / help gratefully received! Thanks in advance.
We are recreating that lab, but we will now direct students to use the 'Manage Palette' option in node-red to install new nodes. I think that is what you should do in lieu of using the toolchain.

Thanks. That worked but I was unable to install the node-red-contrib-media-utils node using that method. All others fine.
I'm not sure how that will affect my ability to complete this course?
I tried it again today - when I was installing the messenger node. And it worked today - very strange. The instance was shutdown in the meantime - maybe that's changed things.
Today's issue is with the function in the section "Create the Node-RED Messenger listener". When I copy the text from this section to add to the function and deploy I get an error message.

When I send a message from Facebook messenger it keeps popping up in Node Red every 30 seconds until I manually reply from Facebook - so obviously the HTTP response back to Facebook Messenger that the POST has been received is not making it through.
OK - this one I fixed for myself. On copy and paste from the webpage the ' character is being pasted as a back tick character - this is in the first line. So what should be 'page' is being pasted as with back ticks either side. Once I fixed that - it works. Thank goodness.
