# Sink Test resource

The Sink Test Resource creates a test event. This test gives you a way to publish to yourself and programmatically ensure that your Sink is ready to receive events.

## Test Properties

```json
{"type":"object","refName":"events.v1.sink.sink_test","modelName":"events_v1_sink_sink_test","properties":{"result":{"type":"string","nullable":true,"description":"Feedback indicating whether the test event was generated."}}}
```

## Create a SinkTest resource

`POST https://events.twilio.com/v1/Sinks/{Sid}/Test`

Initiates a test event on a Sink.

### Path parameters

```json
[{"name":"Sid","in":"path","description":"A 34 character string that uniquely identifies the Sink to be Tested.","schema":{"type":"string","minLength":34,"maxLength":34,"pattern":"^DG[0-9a-fA-F]{32}$"},"required":true}]
```

Create Sink Test

```js
// Download the helper library from https://www.twilio.com/docs/node/install
const twilio = require("twilio"); // Or, for ESM: import twilio from "twilio";

// Find your Account SID and Auth Token at twilio.com/console
// and set the environment variables. See http://twil.io/secure
const accountSid = process.env.TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID;
const authToken = process.env.TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN;
const client = twilio(accountSid, authToken);

async function createSinkTest() {
  const sinkTest = await client.events.v1
    .sinks("DGaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa")
    .sinkTest.create();

  console.log(sinkTest.result);
}

createSinkTest();
```
