# Send Test Event

> Send a signed test event now

[← Webhooks](/api-reference/webhooks/overview)

Send a signed `webhook.test` event to the endpoint now and get the result in the response: one attempt, no retries. It works on disabled endpoints too, so you can check your fix before re-enabling. The delivery shows up in the [delivery log](/api-reference/webhooks/list-deliveries).

<Warning>
  **Beta.** Part of the webhooks API, currently in beta. The contract may still change before general availability.

`ORG_ADMIN_REQUIRED`: only organization admins can manage webhook endpoints. `LOGGED_USER_NOT_MEMBER`: the API key's user is not a member of the organization.

### 404 Not Found

The endpoint does not exist or belongs to another organization. Both cases return the same response.
