# Test the Interaction Service APIs

To verify that your Bring Your Own Channel for Messaging managed package was successfully created, set up the interactive Inbound/Outbound Message Demo app and test the inbound message requests. Before distributing your managed package, develop and test your own connector using the demo connector as a reference.

1. Clone the [https://github.com/salesforce-misc/byo-demo-connector](https://github.com/salesforce-misc/byo-demo-connector/) GitHub repo.
2. To configure the `.env` file and start the demo app, follow the instructions in the `README.md` file.
3. To test the inbound message requests, follow the instructions in the [Interaction Service API](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/service/interaction-service-api/guide/get-started.html) guide to set up your environment and send sample API requests.
4. After developing your own connector with the demo connector as a reference, test inbound message requests with Interaction Service API.
