Test Events

Test webhook events and how to send them from the Paxos Labs Console

Test events let you verify your endpoint connectivity and signature verification before going live. They share the common fields but never represent real transactions.

ping

A lightweight connectivity test. Sent when you click Send Test in the Paxos Labs Console with no specific event type selected.

{
  "id": "f47ac10b-58cc-4372-a567-0e02b2c3d479",
  "type": "ping",
  "timestamp": "2026-04-10T18:32:24.000Z",
  "version": "v2"
}

The ping event contains only the common fields — no additional fields.

Testing with the Paxos Labs Console

The Paxos Labs Console lets you send test events for any subscribed event type. Test events:

• Carry a normal UUID id, indistinguishable from a live event by ID alone
• Contain representative sample data (not real transactions)
• Are labeled Test in delivery history

Use test events to verify your endpoint connectivity and signature verification before going live.
