# Send test

The fastest way to confirm Trigv works — send an alert from the dashboard and check your phone. No code, no Zapier, no terminal.

## Before you start

- Account at [app.trigv.com](https://app.trigv.com)
- Trigv for iOS installed from the App Store, signed in with the **same account** (Android coming soon).

## Step 1 — Open Send test

<ol>
  <li>Sign in at <a href="https://app.trigv.com">app.trigv.com</a>.</li>
  <li>In the left sidebar, click <strong>Send test</strong>.</li>
</ol>

## Step 2 — Fill in the form

<ol>
  <li><strong>API key</strong> — select an existing key, or paste one you just created (<a href="/docs/learn/api-keys">create a key</a>).</li>
  <li><strong>Channel</strong> — pick <code>general</code> (default) or another channel you're subscribed to in the app.</li>
  <li><strong>Title</strong> — e.g. <code>Test from dashboard</code>.</li>
  <li>Optional: description, level (info / success / warning / error).</li>
</ol>

## Step 3 — Send and check your phone

<ol>
  <li>Click <strong>Send</strong> (or equivalent button).</li>
  <li>Within a few seconds you should see a push on your phone.</li>
  <li>If nothing arrives, confirm the app is signed in and subscribed to that channel.</li>
</ol>

## What the dashboard shows

The **Overview** page lists recent events (metadata only — not the message text). You'll see delivery status and how many devices received the alert.

## Next steps

Once send test works, wire up your tool:

- [Zapier](/integrations/zapier/) — no code
- [GitHub Actions](/integrations/github-actions/) — CI alerts
- [cURL](/docs/learn/curl) — quick script test
