# Test a webhook

> POST /webhook/{pk}/test/

Sends a small test payload (`{"event": "scanova.test", "webhook_id": ..., "type": ...}`) to a URL-based webhook synchronously, and reports back what happened — closing the gap where a broken URL only surfaces on the first real (and silently lost) event.

<Note>
  Requires authentication only — no separate permission check beyond ownership of the webhook itself. Rate-limited independently of the account's general request rate, since this makes a real outbound HTTP call per call.
</Note>

<ParamField path="pk" type="integer" required>
  Webhook id.
</ParamField>

<RequestExample>
  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl --request POST \
    --url 'https://api.scanova.io/webhook/44/test/' \
    --header 'Authorization: YOUR_API_KEY'
  ```
</RequestExample>

<ResponseExample>
  ```json 200 (delivered) theme={null}
  { "success": true, "status_code": 200 }
  ```

  ```json 200 (network failure — still 200, not an API error) theme={null}
  { "success": false, "detail": "Connection timed out" }
  ```

  ```json 400 (not URL-testable) theme={null}
  { "success": false, "detail": "This integration type has no URL to test." }
  ```
</ResponseExample>

<Note>
  Only `type` values with a real target URL are testable — `lead`, `form`, `analytics`, `event_tracking`, `zapier`. Other types (HubSpot's CRM push, tracking-id-only types) return `400` with `"This integration type has no URL to test."` A redirect response (`3xx`) is treated as a failed test — redirects are never followed, to prevent a URL that validates safely from redirecting the real request to an internal address.
</Note>

Every attempt (success or failure) is recorded and shows up in [List delivery events](/api-reference/management-api/integrations/webhook-events) for this webhook, the same as production dispatch.

`404` if `pk` isn't owned by this account.

        Send your Management API key as the raw value of the Authorization
        header — no "Bearer " or "Token " prefix, and no other characters.
        Example: `Authorization: 401f7ac837da42b97f613d789819ff93537bee6a`. A
        header containing more than one space-separated part is rejected
        outright. Requests also require the request's Host header to be the
        management API host (e.g. api.scanova.io) — the same key sent to the
        regular API host will not authenticate.
