Sending a Test Event
1
Open the Webhooks page
Navigate to Connections Hub and find the webhook destination you want to test.
2
Open the actions menu
Click the ⋮ menu on the webhook destination row, then choose Send test.
3
Choose an event type
In the modal that appears, select which event type you would like to test from the dropdown. Only events that the destination is subscribed to are shown.
4
Send the test
Click Send test. Mention Me will send a sample payload to the destination URL and report the result.
Understanding the Result
After sending a test, you will see one of three outcomes:How Test Deliveries Differ from Production
Test payloads are nearly identical to production deliveries. The key differences are:- An
X-MentionMe-Test: trueheader is included so your system can distinguish test events from real ones. - The payload uses sample data rather than real customer data.
- Responses are captured and reported back to you in the dashboard. Production deliveries do not surface response details.
If you configured a Secret on this destination, the test payload is HMAC-signed with the same Secret. You can use a test delivery to verify your signature validation logic is working correctly.
Rate Limiting
Test sends are rate-limited to 10 per minute per user per destination. If you exceed this limit, wait a moment before trying again.Troubleshooting
