How can I trigger contact update/create event from custom serverless app

Hello,

I am trying to call freshdesk APIs from my serverless app running locally.

I am not sure how I can trigger the event locally or from the freshdesk portal.
I have tried dev=true to the portal, it does not work i.e. when I create a contact in freshdesk portal, it does not trigger the “OnCreateContact” event in the locally running server less app.

I am trying to run it from test server available locally.I am not sure what would be the API Key/header for the local test server.
Here is my code -
Triggering from local server -

          "https://sample.freshdesk.com/api/v2/contacts/2",
          {
            headers: {
             },
            json: {
               description: 'Test Description for contact'
            }
          }
        ).then(() => {
          console.info('Contact updated successfully');
        }, error => {
          console.error('Contact updation failed');
          console.error(error);
        });

I am getting an error -
response:
{ code: ‘invalid_credentials’,
message: ‘You have to be logged in to perform this action.’ },
attempts: 1,
errorSource: ‘APP’ }

For testing from portal,here is the code:

          payload.iparams.freshdesk_domain + "/api/v2/contacts/"+payload.data.contact.id,
          {
            headers: {
              Authorization: "Basic <%= encode(iparam.freshdesk_api_key) %>"
            },
            json: {
               description: 'Test Description for contact'
            }
          }
        ).then(() => {
          console.info('Contact created successfully');
        }, error => {
          console.error('Contact updation failed');
          console.error(error);
        });

But the event does not trigger.

please suggest how to connect to portal to test the event and how to test locally.Thank you
