Hi.
Is there any way i can create a button in plugin configuration and send a request to a controller? Basically i want to test if API credentials are valid or not. But i need this button to respond or make a request to controller. But this button should be in plugin configurations.
Any ideas?

There’s an article covering exactly that topic .
It adds a button to the plugin configuration which sends an ajax request to test the api credentials. Check it out: [ Testing communication with external apis](https://developers.shopware.com/developers-guide/plugin-guidelines/#testing-communication-with-external-apis)

Yes i found that later on that it was exaclty same thing i am trying to acheive. 😃
I wanted to delete the question, but i thought it would help someone in future if the person searches forum first.
Thankyou so much by the way!
