SSL certificate problem for webhook callback

I get following error while trying to add the URI for webhook:

Error: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate

I can open the URL from browser and it works. What am I missing here?

    Hi Siddharth, I believe this is an issue where we may not be trusting one of the Certificate Authorities on your certificate.

    We're checking if we can fix this on our side, but I can't say if/when that would be. Some workarounds for now that may help to get this working from your side:

    - use http:// for your webhook URI instead of https://
    - use a different SSL certificate

    Apologies I don't have a better solution right now!
