# Send a test event

POST https://api.truvo.com/v1/event-subscriptions/{id}/test

**MCP tool:** [`send_test_event`](https://docs.truvo.com/api-reference/mcp/send-test-event)

Reference: https://docs.truvo.com/api-reference/send-test-event

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — Your Truvo API key, sent as a bearer token. The prefix selects sandbox (trv_sandbox_) or live (trv_live_).

## Request

### Path parameters

- `id` (string, required)

### Headers

- `Truvo-Version` (enum, required, default: 2026-09-26) — The contract revision of this request, which every operation in this document requires. This document describes 2026-09-26. Served revisions: 2026-09-26. A missing header, or one that names no served revision exactly, answers `invalid_version` (400), and its field error lists the served revisions in `allowed_values`, newest first.
  - Allowed values: `2026-09-26`
- `Idempotency-Key` (string, required) — A caller-chosen request key. A key replays for at least 24 hours. The same key with the same body replays the first answer; the same key with a different body is a conflict.

## Response

### 202

Send a test event to one active subscription, up to 10 a minute. It names no resource and carries no applicant data. Its delivery shows in the delivery log. A test does not use the quote request allowance.

- `subscription_id` (string, required)
