| 22 | + For example, if your Odoo instance is hosted at "http://www.example.com", you |
| 23 | + should put "http://www.example.com/web" in this field. |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +- Callback URL: this is the address on which Twitter will respond. Following the |
| 26 | + previous example you should write "http://www.example.com/web/twitter/callback". |
| 27 | + |
