# Step 1: Create ManagedEventSubscription with Tooling API

Create a managed subscription configuration for `Order_Event__e`.

**Prerequisites**

- Create the `Order_Event__e` platform event by following the steps in [Step 1: Define a Platform Event](/docs/platform/pub-sub-api/guide/qs-java-prereqs.md) in the main Java quick start.
- To complete the steps, you can use your favorite REST API tool. We recommend using Postman with the Salesforce API Collection, which contains handy templates for Salesforce API calls, including calls for creating ManagedEventSubscription. For instructions on how to set up Postman, see [Quick Start: Connect Postman to Salesforce](https://trailhead.salesforce.com/content/learn/projects/quick-start-connect-postman-to-salesforce) in Trailhead.

1. Send a POST request to this REST endpoint: `/services/data/v61.0/tooling/sobjects/ManagedEventSubscription`

   If you’re using Postman, in the Salesforce Platform APIs collection, expand **Event Platform** and **Managed Event Subscriptions**, and then click **Create managed event subscription**. If you don't find the Managed Event Subscriptions folder, refresh the collection. Click **View more actions** (**...**) next to the collection name, click **Pull changes**, and in the new tab, click **Pull Changes**.

   Use this request body.

```
{
  "FullName": "My_Managed_Subscription",
  "Metadata":
  {
      "label" : "My Managed Subscription",
      "topicName" : "/event/Order_Event__e",
      "defaultReplay": "LATEST",
      "state" : "RUN",
      "errorRecoveryReplay" : "LATEST"
  }
}
```

2. After you create the ManagedEventSubscription in Tooling API, the response returned contains the ID of the created ManagedEventSubscription record, similar to this response. Save the ID.

```
{
  "id": "18xKj000000000BIAQ",
  "success": true,
  "errors": [],
  "warnings": [],
  "infos": []
}
```
