# Test a contact point
For Grafana managed contact points, you can send a test notification which helps verify a contact point is configured correctly.
To send a test notification:
1. In the Grafana side bar, hover your cursor over the **Alerting** (bell) icon and then click **Contact** points.
1. Find the contact point to test, then click **Edit** (pen icon). You can also create a new contact point if needed.
1. Click **Test** (paper airplane icon) to open the contact point testing modal.
1. Choose whether to send a predefined test notification or choose custom to add your own custom annotations and labels to include in the notification.
1. Click **Send test notification** to fire the alert.
