How can I test the Base Camp Routing Feature?

First: Thank you to all the volunteers who make FreeToastHost such a valuable resource for clubs. I really appreciate it!

Here is my question. We are interested in taking advantage of the Base Camp routing feature description in #2 of this documentation:
support.toastmastersclubs.org/doc/item/pathways-support

Our club contact email address for the Find a Club page is currently our VP of Membership officer email address as described (vpm-3313064@toastmastersclubs.org), so I believe we are configured correctly.

We've only been using Pathways for the last 6 months or so, and I'm not sure if any members have reached the point where Base Camp notifications would have occurred. Our VP of Education has asked me to ensure that he will receive Base Camp notifications. Because this feature is reliant on emails coming from basecamp@toastmasters.org, I'm not sure how I could ensure this is working correctly for us.

Any suggestions? If the answer is: not really, just wait until a Base Camp notification comes through, I'll completely understand. I realize this question is on the edge or outside of FreeToastHost itself.

Again: thanks to everyone here. We really appreciate this software and the time and effort of all who contribute to making it useful for Toastmaster clubs everywhere!

We have many clubs who use this feature successfully.

You can ask the members is anyone has completed a level as this is what triggers the email.
Thank you,

And sure enough...just a little while after posting this, I received confirmation that our VP of Education received his first Base Camp notification. So yes, it is apparently working for us!

Brian - thanks for the quick response. It looks like we are good to go.

Glad your question was answered.
For future reference, another way to get a message from base camp is to use the external training request form.
