Body: DestinationTestResultDto Each item has these fields.

Field	Type	Description
`success` required	boolean	Whether the test notification was delivered successfully.
`message` required	string	Human-readable summary (e.g., "Delivered successfully", "Connection refused"). nullable
`details` required	string	Transport-specific details (e.g., HTTP 200, Slack message timestamp, email message ID). nullable
`duration` required	string (date-span)	How long the test took to complete.

This response has no documented body fields.

default The request failed. The body carries the standard error envelope: a machine-readable `error.code`, a human-readable `error.message`, and `error.validationErrors` when the failure was a validation rejection. See the error-code reference in this document's description for the values `error.code` can take.

Body: RemoteServiceErrorResponse Each item has these fields.

Field	Type	Description
`error` required	RemoteServiceErrorInfo

This response has no documented body fields.

429 The request was refused because a rate limit was exceeded, or because something a later retry can clear stopped it. A rate limit refusal carries an `application/problem+json` body: wait at least the interval `Retry-After` names before retrying, then back off. Limits are tuned per deployment, so read the allowance from the response headers rather than assuming a fixed ceiling. Any other refusal carries the standard error envelope as `application/json`, and its `error.code` names the cause.

Body: RemoteServiceErrorResponse Each item has these fields.

Field	Type	Description
`error` required	RemoteServiceErrorInfo

This response has no documented body fields.

Errors
