### Step 5: Test the Automation

Ensure the automation works as expected by monitoring a test invoice.

1. Wait for the next hourly fetch (Fleetwire checks every hour).
2. Check [Invoices](https://tenant.fleetwire.io/invoices/) to confirm the Tesla invoice appears.
3. Verify that the renter was invoiced via Stripe (if automatic invoicing is enabled) and notifications were sent.
4. Adjust settings as needed to optimize the process.

||| **Warning**: If invoices aren’t fetched or invoicing fails, ensure your Tesla and Stripe integrations are active in [Settings > Integrations](https://tenant.fleetwire.io/connections).
