# 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**

  If you want to test endpoints while you develop them locally, we recommend using a tool such as [`localtunnel`](https://localtunnel.me), which will temporarily expose a port of your local machine to the internet through a URL that the tool itself will give you.

# Testing your webhooks through the dashboard

You can test your webhook endpoints from the [Fintoc Dashboard](https://dashboard.fintoc.com/dashboard) following a few 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 on the icon on the right side of each subscribed event to send a test Webhook.

After following the steps above, the dashboard will show you the event that got sent to the webhook endpoint.

Please consider that test events have fake data that can't be used to query the Fintoc API. For instance, when sending a test `account.refresh_intent.succeeded` event, the result will be the following JSON:

```json theme={null}
{
  "id": "evt_1zgnKZmDC2A59vrX",
  "type": "account.refresh_intent.succeeded",
  "mode": "test",
  "createdAt": "2021-07-07T15:15:09.802Z",
  "data": {
    "object": "refresh_intent",
    "refreshedObject": "account",
    "refreshedObjectId": "acc_00000000",
    "status": "created",
    "createdAt": "2021-06-28T00:00:00.000Z"
  },
  "object": "event"
}
```

Notice how the account `id` corresponds to `acc_00000000`, which is a fake account, so there is no way to get its details using the get account endpoint.

<Info>
  *Webhooks in`live` mode can't be tested through the Dashboard, because these events are only sent under specific circumstances (for example, when a connected account gets updated with its latest bank movements).*
