How do I trigger a webhook for transaction settlement in sandbox?

Question

I am trying to create a new webhook endpoint for my braintree integration. I added an endpoint to the Control Panel. I am using the Python library and created a a bunch of transactions. Also, I manually settled the transaction using the testing gateway. But I do not get a webhook notification. When is the webhook triggered and I=is there a way to trigger it manually?

_{Full disclosure: I work at Braintree. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact support.}

The Transaction -> Disbursed webhook fires when the transaction has settled, and braintree has begun to move funds from their account to yours. While settling the transaction manually in the control panel would start the process, it does not fire the webhook right away.

There isn't any way to trigger this manually, instead braintree has sample payloads and a way to trigger a "Check" webhook in the control panel.

To answer the question in your comment, this type of webhook does not cover voided transactions.
