How do a test run a billable invoice hook?

I am trying to use billable invoice transaction on my web hook to set the quantity of tracked items.

Is there a way I can run the web hook to test it? I have tried setting the billable date to "now" but it runs the invoice immediately, which I do not want.

I know I can set everyday recurring for the subscription but that will slow down my troubleshooting. I can't possibly wait everyday to receive the hook.

   Hi Jin Jie -- The best way to do that is to set the changeBillDate to just a few minutes in the future. Then, you'll need to wait for our next recurring processing event. That currently runs every 6 hours. So, you'll have to wait for up to 6 hours for each iteration. Alternatively, for development, you might consider hard-coding a copy of some hook data in your listener and remove it when you're ready for final testing.

   Hi Marc,

   I have tried and see that an outstanding invoice was “generated”. However, no hook event was sent. Do you mean that the recurring processing event will run the hook every 6 hours?

   Hi Jin Jie -- Your live "AgentNex" product account does not have a billable hook enabled. Are you referring to a different product account?

   It's texty development

   Hi Jin Jie --

   We were able to track down a few of your subscription billable hooks going through. Is this still an issue?

   Hi Jess,

   That was a few days ago. Not sure if that is the right one.

   I have set the next billing date to 2013-12-04 and I am expecting it to
   send the hook event tomorrow. I will update you again if I have received
   the event.

   I see that the pending invoice is set for 2013-12-03T17:30:32+00:00 for this customer:

   https://cheddargetter.com/admin/customers/get/id/d6eda471-584f-11e3...

   For that invoice, the billable hook should be sent around 2013-12-03T19:15:00+00:00.

   FYI, you can use the management console to resend already sent hooks if needed.
