# Send a test event to a notification destination

`POST /notification-destination/{id}/test`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.elaichi.ai`
- URL: `https://api.elaichi.ai/notification-destination/{id}/test`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Sends a test event to a notification destination. Really delivers one synthetic event through the live Slack/email path and reports the outcome, updating `last_test_at`/`last_test_status`. Works on paused destinations. Optional `config`/`webhook_url` in the body are used for this call only — nothing is saved — so edits can be verified before being written. Requires `notification:manage`.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required

## Headers

- `X-Organization-Id` string

## Request body

- object
  - `config` object: Non-secret settings. `to`/`cc`/`bcc` apply to `email`; ignored for `slack`.
    - `to` string[]
    - `cc` string[]
    - `bcc` string[]
    - `subject_prefix` string
  - `webhook_url` string

## Response `200`

OK

- object
  - `ok` boolean
  - `error` string, nullable: Failure detail; null when `ok` is true.

## Other responses

- `400`: Bad request
- `401`: Unauthorized
- `403`: Forbidden
- `404`: Not found
- `429`: Rate limited
