# Test a Slack or Discord integration

POST https://api.modulards.com/api/public/v1/alerts/{alert_id}/integrations/{integration_type}/test
Content-Type: application/json

Sends a real test message to a URL without saving it, and reports whether the provider accepted it. Use it to check a URL before you save it with "Create a Slack or Discord integration" or "Update a Slack or Discord integration".

The `integration_type` in the path is `slack` or `discord`. `meta.valid` is `true` only when the provider answers with a 2xx status. Each attempt waits at most 5 seconds; a connection failure, a timeout or a 5xx answer is retried up to three attempts in total, and a 4xx answer is not retried. An unresponsive URL therefore answers within about 15 seconds, and a rejected one after a single attempt.

The body is checked before the configuration, so an invalid body answers 422 first, and a configuration of another organization answers 404 only when the body is valid. Sending a test is limited to 10 test messages per minute per token.

**Body**
- `url` (string, required): the same rules as in "Update a Slack or Discord integration".

**Errors**
- **404**: the organization's plan does not include the channel, or your role cannot edit notification configurations.
- **422**: `url` is empty or not valid for the type: an empty URL answers 422 instead of a failed test.
- **429**: more than 10 test messages in a minute; the eleventh answers 429 and sends nothing.
