# Test your webhook endpoint

You should always test that your webhook endpoints behave as expected before registering them in `live` mode.

<Info>
  **Testing endpoints locally**

  To test endpoints while you develop locally, use a tool such as [`localtunnel`](https://localtunnel.me). The tool exposes a local port to the internet and returns a public URL you can register as your endpoint.

## Testing your webhooks through the dashboard

You can test your webhook endpoints from the [Fintoc Dashboard](https://dashboard.fintoc.com/dashboard) in three steps:

1. Register a webhook endpoint using the `test` mode from the webhooks section of the dashboard.
2. After registering the webhook endpoint, click on it to open a detail drawer.
3. Click the send-test icon on the right of each subscribed event to send a test webhook.

After you complete these steps, the dashboard shows the event it sent to your webhook endpoint.

Test events carry fake data that you cannot use to query the Fintoc API. For instance, a test `account.refresh_intent.succeeded` event returns the following JSON:

```json theme={null}
{
  "id": "evt_1zgnKZmDC2A59vrX",
  "type": "account.refresh_intent.succeeded",
  "mode": "test",
  "created_at": "2021-07-07T15:15:09.802Z",
  "data": {
    "object": "refresh_intent",
    "refreshed_object": "account",
    "refreshed_object_id": "acc_00000000",
    "status": "succeeded",
    "public_error": null,
    "created_at": "2021-06-28T00:00:00.000Z",
    "type": "only_last",
    "new_movements": 5
  },
  "object": "event"
}
```

Notice how the account `id` corresponds to `acc_00000000`, a fake account, so the [get account endpoint](/reference/movements-api/accounts/accounts-get) cannot return its details.

<Info>
  **Live mode webhooks**

  You cannot test `live` mode webhooks through the dashboard, because Fintoc sends these events only under specific conditions (for example, when a connected account updates with its latest bank movements).
