Shopify API Webhook not being received Ruby on Rails

I want to perform a job when an order is created in Shopify, but it seems as if nothing is listening to the webhook and I can't figure out why. I followed the documentation for the shopify_app gem but it is not working.

I ran 

rails g shopify_app:add_webhook -t orders/create -a https://example.com/webhooks/orders_create

Initializer shopify_app.rb

ShopifyApp.configure do |config|

...

  config.webhooks = [
    {topic: 'orders/create', address: 'https://myappwebaddress_not_showing_on_stackoverflow/webhooks/orders_create', format: 'json'},
  ]

...
end

I am using the WebhooksController

module ShopifyApp
  class WebhooksController < ApplicationController
    include ShopifyApp::WebhookVerification


    class ShopifyApp::MissingWebhookJobError < StandardError; end

    def receive
      params.try(:permit!)
      job_args = {shop_domain: shop_domain, webhook: webhook_params.to_h}
      webhook_job_klass.perform_later(job_args)
      head :no_content
    end

    private

    def webhook_params
      params.except(:controller, :action, :type)
    end

    def webhook_job_klass
      "#{webhook_type.classify}Job".safe_constantize or raise ShopifyApp::MissingWebhookJobError
    end

    def webhook_type
      params[:type]
    end
  end
end

I know the webhook is created because I display it within the app view and it shows.

[#<ShopifyAPI::Webhook:0x007f183012d578 @attributes={"id"=>462377288, "address"=>"https://myappwebaddress_not_showing_on_stackoverflow/webhooks/orders_create", "topic"=>"orders/create", "created_at"=>"2016-11-29T20:29:24-08:00", "updated_at"=>"2016-11-29T20:29:24-08:00", "format"=>"json", "fields"=>[], "metafield_namespaces"=>[]}, @prefix_options={}, @persisted=true>]

When I create an order through Shopify, nothing happens in my app.

I should add, I am using sidekiq to process the job. Sidekiq is working because when I "install" the app in Shopify, it processes the job of creating the webhook.

What am I missing to process the webhook? Do I still need to create something in routes.rb? Nothing in the documentation says I need to. I tried creating a route post 'webhooks/orders_create' => 'webhooks#receive' But, that didn't do anything.

What do I need to do?

The problem was that the webhook could not access the endpoint because the development server was hosted on cloud9 and was only accessible via my browser.
