# Broadcast test event

> Send a test event to the connection endpoint configured for a specific subscription. Use this to verify that your connection is set up correctly before relying on it for production events.

Send a test event to the connection endpoint configured for this subscription. This is useful for verifying that your webhook URL or Klaviyo integration is set up correctly.

The test event will contain a sample payload matching the subscription's event type.

<Info>
  The test broadcast will use the same authentication and headers configured on the connection.

  title: Event Subscriptions API
  version: 3.0.0
  description: >-
    **BETA** - The Event Subscriptions API allows you to subscribe to parcel
    events and have them delivered to external endpoints such as webhooks or
    Klaviyo.


    This API uses a two-part model:

    - **Connections** define _where_ events are delivered (e.g., a webhook URL
    or a Klaviyo account).

    - **Subscriptions** define _which_ events are routed to a connection.


    All resources are scoped to the authenticated user's organization.
