The Connector Builder provides a test option to validate the actions you create. Enter valid values for the parameters, request headers, and body 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.

The Test option uses the authentication configured in the Authenticate action as the authentication context. Before testing, add valid authorization prefixes to the Authenticate action according to the API definition.

The Connector Builder supports selecting a Control Room-managed OAuth connection as an authorization method to test the action. During the testing process, the Test option retrieves the generated authentication token from the OAuth connection and includes it in the API header along with the defined prefix. The OAuth connection must be active when you test the action.

The Insecure string option in the Authorization tab of the Headers section allows you to enter the access token directly. Depending on the authentication method, you can enter API keys, bearer tokens, or Base64-encoded strings in the Insecure string field.
