What does simulating a message to API do?

Simulating a message to the API allows you to send test messages as if they came from your SIM without needing a physical device connection. This is particularly useful for testing and debugging your Routes configuration, webhooks, and message routing logic. When you simulate a message:
  • The message will trigger Routes just like a real message from your device.
  • You can specify custom data payload and topics for testing.
  • The message automatically includes REST_API and DEVICE_<id> topics. You cannot simulate system topics surrounded by underscores.
  • All configured Routes will process the simulated message normally.
