Objective
This article shows you how to send a test event to a webhook URL from the Twilio Console and read the response, so you can confirm your endpoint is reachable and correctly configured before relying on it in production.
Product
Twilio Console
Environment
Twilio Console
Procedure
- In the Twilio Console, open Webhook configuration.
- Select Actions, then Test a webhook URL.
- From HTTP method, choose POST or GET.
- In Webhook URL, enter the URL you want to test.
- Select Send test event.
- Read the Test results, which show the Response status, Response flags, Response message, and Response headers returned by your endpoint.
Additional Information
- To test a URL using the authentication, connection, and signature configuration of a specific webhook setting, go to the Webhook URL rules tab instead, open the actions menu on a rule, and select Test rule. The rule's URL is filled in for you and can be edited before you send the test.
-
Test rule is only offered for rules that are attached to a webhook setting and whose URL contains no
*wildcard. - The last step of the guided Configure webhook flow also lets you send a test event to the URL you just set up.
- A response status in the 200 range means Twilio reached your endpoint successfully. Any other status is reported so you can investigate.
