The Connector Builder provides a testing feature that enables you to test and verify the created actions. This capability allows you to check the API call response and troubleshoot any errors before publishing the connector.

The Test tab in the connector editor enables you to test the configured action and validate the action using the API response data. The Test tab displays the HTTP Method and Full URL from the configuration along with the configured Request parameters, Request headers, and Request body. Test operation sends the configured API call to the target API and displays the status code and response body in the Response section.

The Reset properties option clears all the values in Request parameters, Request headers, and Request body and enables you to retest using new values.
Note: Test operation does not support uploading files. You can upload files using actions after you publish the custom connector.
Testing uses the authentication configured in the Authenticate action. You must add appropriate authorization prefixes to the Authenticate action before testing.
  • Basic for Basic authentication.
  • Bearer for OAuth 2.0 authentication.

The Connector Builder supports selecting a Control Room managed OAuth connection as an authorization option to test the action. The OAuth connection must be active when you test the action as the Connector Builder picks up the generated access token. The Insecure string option in the Authorization section of Headers allows you to enter this access token directly.
