POST/v1/webhooks/{webhook_id}/test

Send a test event

test_webhook

Sends an event immediately, regardless of the subscriptions and the state of the webhook, with test: true, outside the delivery order of the webhook and without X-KB-Sequence. The event is not written to the event feed. type is any type from the catalog (webhook.ping by default); data comes from the example of the event in the webhooks section of the specification. A failure is not retried and does not count toward the pause threshold. The response is the delivery with the receiver's response code and the error.

Authentication

Send an API key in the Authorization header: Authorization: Bearer <key>.

Path parameters

  • webhook_idintegerrequired

Header parameters

  • Idempotency-Keystring

    Key for a safe retry of a write: 1 to 255 printable ASCII characters; a UUID v4 per logical operation is recommended. A retry with the same key within 24 hours does not run the operation again: it returns the saved response (status, headers and body) with the Idempotency-Replayed: true header. The same key with a different method, path, Content-Type or body returns 409 api.idempotency_mismatch; while the first request is still running, 409 api.idempotency_in_progress with Retry-After: 1. After a 5xx or 429 response the key is released, and a retry runs the operation again. The key is scoped to the organization and the caller (API key, user, or custom source key).

Request body

application/json

Object: WebhookTestRequest

Responses

200The delivery was attempted (whether it succeeded is in `status`).

Response headers

  • RateLimit-Policy

    Limits in effect, in the format of the IETF draft draft-ietf-httpapi-ratelimit-headers: comma-separated items "<name>";q=<quota>;w=<window in seconds>. key is the request rate of the API key (the quota is the burst, the window is the time to refill it fully; for a session it is user, without credentials ip); minute, day and month are the organization's quotas for the calendar minute, day and month in UTC.

  • RateLimit

    What is left of each limit in RateLimit-Policy: "<name>";r=<remaining>;t=<seconds until reset>.

  • X-RateLimit-Limit

    Limit of the strictest entry in RateLimit-Policy (the one with the fewest requests left).

  • X-RateLimit-Remaining

    Requests left under the strictest limit.

  • X-RateLimit-Reset

    Seconds until the strictest limit resets.

  • Idempotency-Replayed

    true means the response was replayed from the saved one for this Idempotency-Key: the operation did not run again.

application/json

Object: WebhookDelivery

  • expandedWebhookDeliveryExpanded
  • idintegerrequired
  • webhook_idintegerrequired
  • event_idstringrequired

    Event ID (evt_…), also sent in the X-KB-Event-Id header and in the delivery body.

  • event_typeWebhookEventTyperequired

  • attemptintegerrequired

    Number of attempts made.

  • errorstring | null
  • delivered_atstring (date-time) | null
  • created_atstring (date-time)required
  • updated_atstring (date-time)required
  • sequenceinteger | null

    Number in the delivery order of the webhook (X-KB-Sequence); null for a test delivery.

  • testbooleanrequired

    A test delivery (POST /v1/webhooks/{webhook_id}/test).

  • redelivery_ofinteger | null

    The original delivery, if this one is a redelivery.

  • error_codestring | null

    Neutral code of the last failure: timeout, connection_failed, tls_error, private_address, unresolvable, redirect, http_error, request_failed, endpoint_disabled, event_expired; a cancelled delivery (cancelled) can also have event_not_permitted (the event is outside the rights of the webhook at the time of the attempt, because the rights were narrowed after fan-out) or event_unavailable (the body of a test delivery is no longer available).

401No credentials were sent (neither a session cookie nor an API key), or the key was not found.

Response headers

  • RateLimit-Policy

    Limits in effect, in the format of the IETF draft draft-ietf-httpapi-ratelimit-headers: comma-separated items "<name>";q=<quota>;w=<window in seconds>. key is the request rate of the API key (the quota is the burst, the window is the time to refill it fully; for a session it is user, without credentials ip); minute, day and month are the organization's quotas for the calendar minute, day and month in UTC.

  • RateLimit

  • X-RateLimit-Remaining

    Requests left under the strictest limit.

  • X-RateLimit-Reset

    Seconds until the strictest limit resets.

application/json

Object: Error

403The action is not allowed: the role is insufficient, there is no access to the collection or card, the request runs in “View as” mode, or the organization is suspended or deleted (`detail` is an object with `code: org_suspended | org_deleted`).

application/json

Object: Error

429Too many requests (`api.rate_limited`), the organization's quota for the minute, day or month is used up (`api.quota_exceeded`; `error.details` holds `quota`, `limit` and `reset_at`), the organization's limit is reached, or the answer service is busy (`answers.engine_busy`). Wait for the time in the `Retry-After` header.

Response headers

  • Retry-After

    Number of seconds to wait before you retry the request.

application/json

Object: Error

Error codes

Codes this endpoint can return in error.code, besides the general codes of every request.

Safe retries

Send an Idempotency-Key header (for example a UUID) with each POST and PATCH. A retry with the same key within 24 hours returns the saved response instead of running the request again.

Rate limits

Responses carry the RateLimit and RateLimit-Policy headers and the earlier X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining and X-RateLimit-Reset. A 429 response has Retry-After in seconds: wait and retry.
