A PBX event is a rule that runs actions - a webhook, an SMS, a call, setting a variable or a switch, or changing the members of a queue - when something happens on the PBX. See PBX events for the triggers, the variables and the limits.

This request runs the actions of an event now, without waiting for its trigger, with variables of your own choosing. Use it to check a webhook, an SMS text or a call before the event goes live.

• A disabled event (enabled false) can be tested too.
• The variables of every run are filled in by themselves: EVENT_TYPE is TEST, and TIME, TIMESTAMP, GUID and EVENT_ID as usual. Variables you send are added on top and win - so you can e.g. send EVENT_TYPE CALL_END to test a webhook that looks at it.
• A variable the event uses, but you do not send, is empty - except %VARIABLE:name% and %SWITCH:name%, which are looked up as usual unless you send them, e.g. SWITCH:door1: 1.
• A queue action with TRIGGER takes the queue from the QUEUE_ID you send, and the extension from MEMBER_EXTENSION_ID, or else EXTENSION_ID. If you do not send them, the action fails with no_trigger_queue or no_trigger_extension.
• The test run is written to the run log with test true and summary TEST. A test that cannot run at all - e.g. because the event was deleted in the meantime - is logged with type null, no actions and a summary that starts with TEST failed: and gives the reason.
• An event can only be tested once at a time: while a test of it is waiting for its run (at most 10 seconds), another test of the same event is refused with 429.

The request waits up to 15 seconds for the run to finish and then answers with the run. If the run takes longer, the request answers 202 with a requestId, and the run shows up in the log with that requestId when it is done. If it never shows up, the test did not reach the service that runs the events - try again later.

The body may be left out altogether.
