Learn how to send test data to Zapier via a POST request when creating a webhook to send email and SMS consent to Klaviyo.

Create a POST request

Before testing your trigger, you will need to send test data to your webhook via a POST request. The steps listed below explain how to make the POST request via Postman, but you’re welcome to use any program you’d like.

1. Copy the webhook URL generated by Zapier.
2. In Postman, click New to start a new request.
3. Select HTTP Request from the Create New menu.
   
4. Paste the Zapier webhook URL you copied earlier into the URL box.
5. Select POST from the dropdown to the left of the webhook URL.
   
6. Select the Body tab, choose the form-data radio button, and then enter the keys and appropriate test data from the following table. Make sure to format phone numbers correctly. You'll need to use a real phone number when testing your webhook in order for the profile to be added to your list. 

   Key	Value
   name	<Test name>
   email	<Test email>
   phone_number	<Test phone number>
   sms_consent	true

   
7. Click Send to send the test data to Zapier.
8. If the POST request is successful, you’ll see the line "status": "success" in the response.
   

Now you can return to Zapier and complete the webhook setup process.
