# Send a test message

`POST /service/@id/tinopay/notification-apps/test` · TinoPay, service owner's sign-in token

Step 3: sends a real test message to `endpoint` (group or chat ID, or Lark webhook URL) before saving. Returns `{connected, chat_title}` (`chat_title` for Telegram only); save only when `connected` is `true`. Telegram without `bot_token` tests with the shared bot. Not retried on network errors.
