# Validate an Event Type

After you've [tested an event type](/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/event-types/test-new-event-types.md#test-the-event-type-0-0), it has to be validated to ensure proper integration with your website.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** It may take up to 30 minutes for a test transaction to appear. If your test transaction does not appear on the *test transaction* screen after 30 minutes, please [contact support](https://app.impact.com/support/portal.ihtml?createTicket=true&).
{% endhint %}

1. From the top navigation bar, select ![](/files/2qeX6EqajzdOPiwzfeV5) **\[User profile] → Settings**.
2. On the right, under *Tracking*, select **Event Types**.
3. Navigate to the event type that you want to validate, then in the *Status* column, select ![](/files/mQTDSmR70Q3Eybmgev6e) **\[More]** → **Test**.
4. On the *Test Your Integration* screen, select **View my test action**.
5. On the *Test Actions* screen, select ![](/files/mQTDSmR70Q3Eybmgev6e) **\[More]** → **View Details**.
6. Review the conversion payload details. Pay special attention to revenue, discounts, product details, and any other element that potentially affects partner payouts.
7. In the upper-right corner, select **Approve** if all the details are as expected or **Reject** if there are any incorrect details.

   * The event type's status will change from `Pending Validation` to `Active` once you approve the validation.
   * If you **reject** the end-to-end test result, you will need to repeat the end-to-end process for that conversion event until you achieve a successful result.
