is that via the cli tools?

#

i looked at the web ui for sending events and it's very limited

Hey there 👋 I believe the event you're looking to trigger is invoice.upcoming. Bear with me a moment while I double-check how that can be triggered.

#

Apologies, invoice.upcoming (original message corrected)

thanks so much toby!

You should be able to trigger this event through your Stripe dashboard, by following these directions. One thing to note is that you can only send test events if that webhook endpoint is set up to receive those event types. So in this case the webhook endpoint needs to have invoice.upcoming enabled.

Test that your webhook endpoint is working properly before taking it live.

The event is helpful in seeing what comes through for the invoice, thanks.
Am I right in thinking that the subscription status will remain 'active' whilst a new invoice has been raised and the max number of payment attempts haven't been reached?

#

So in effect, I only really need to worry about invoice payment intent statuses of 'requires action' & 'requires payment method'?

#

That's correct

Awesome. It would be great to be able to simulate these events to be received as webhooks, but I presume it's not possible to manually trigger events that are tied to particular subscriptions & invoices?

Correct, you can't forcibly cause this flow to kick off, but you could manipulate the dates to cause it to trigger sooner than normal though there would still be delays with this approach.
