# Send a test event [#send-a-test-event]

| Method | Path |
| --- | --- |
| `POST` | `/v1/signals/api/subscriber/{id}/webhook/test` |

<Availability route="POST /v1/signals/api/subscriber/{id}/webhook/test" />

Sends a signed `webhook.test` event (`{ event, subscriber, sentAt }`) now, with every header a real delivery carries, and answers what the receiver did. It is not queued, retried or listed, and it works on a disabled endpoint, so a receiver can be checked before it is enabled.

### Through ovok [#through-ovok]

- **Who can call it:** Manager apps, and users whose access policy grants the capabilities.
- **Capabilities, all required:** `signals_webhooks:update`. Project admins have every capability; client applications get no admin bypass.
- It can reach any patient of your project without naming one, so it is for callers that reach every patient: project admins, manager or submitter apps, and anyone whose Patient access has no criteria.

## Request [#request]

### Path parameters [#path-parameters]

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | string | Yes | The subscriber's Signals id or its `clientId`. |

## Responses [#responses]

| Status | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `200` | The attempt: whether it was delivered, and the answer. |
| `400` | A path value holds a character ovok does not send to Signals, such as a raw `:` or `+`. Percent-encode it. The query carries a raw `#`, or more than 200 parameters. |
| `401` | Your ovok access token, or your client id and secret, are missing or invalid. |
| `403` | ovok refused the call: you lack a capability this route needs, or your session has no project, or your access covers only some patients. From Signals: Authenticated, but the client's role does not permit this, or it is not attached to the patient. Or: A SUBSCRIBER named another subscriber. |
| `404` | No such subscriber in this tenant. |
| `409` | Your project has no Signals tenant of its own (`SIGNALS_TENANT_NOT_OWN`), or it is moving to another one. |
| `415` | The body is not JSON. |
| `422` | The subscriber has no webhookUrl. |
| `429` | Too many requests. Retry after the seconds in `Retry-After`. |
| `500` | ovok hit an unexpected fault, such as your project having no Signals submitter. |
| `502` | Signals answered with something ovok couldn't use, or refused ovok's own credential. |
| `503` | Signals is unavailable. Retry after the seconds in `Retry-After`. |
| `504` | Signals did not answer in time. |
