Hello! If you don't want to use Test Clocks you would need to create a Subscription with a short interval and then wait.

does a free trial trigger an invoice.upcoming webhook?
celest wasp
What do you mean?
invoice.upcoming will fire X days before a Subscription is scheduled to create an Invoice, where X is determined by your Dashboard settings.
graceful prairie
oh yeah
so if I set the X days to be 3 days
and then add 3 days of free trial to a subscription
would that trigger the invoice.upcoming?
celest wasp
I think so... although I've never tried doing it that way.
What's your goal? What are you trying to do exactly?
graceful prairie
yeah, we send our own "upcoming subscription renewal"-type emails
that use the invoice.upcoming webhook to trigger them
celest wasp
Why don't you want to use Test Clocks?
graceful prairie
our subscriptions are already attached to some other user objects, and have metadata set on them
it would be a bit difficult to copy/replicate
celest wasp
I see. In that case I recommend creating or updating a Subscription with trial_end set to a bit longer than three days in the future to ensure the Subscription exists and has time to trigger the invoice.upcoming Event: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-trial_end

I would probably start with five minutes, make sure it works, then lower it if needed.
celest wasp
Ah, nice.

thanks for your help!
