I am trying to follow a TTD approach to building a new Email Service. The service will have a number of methods that form a "pipeline" of sorts, in that they receive an object, perform some actions on the object then pass it over to the next service.
Is there a way to unit test these methods individually?
Example of one method:
public void RecieveMessage(string message)
var @event = JsonAdapter.ToObject<RecievedEvent>(message);
if(@event.IsValid())
CreateTemplates(@event);
else
Log("Warn", "Invalid message received");
Can this be tested? Do I need to rethink my approach? Should I tests the methods together?
Thanks.

What isEventHandlerMethod? A specific method or a delegate of some kind? If the latter, that's how you test this method - you mock the delegate and check that it's called with an appropriate value.

Can you mock Log method to check if warn was return or not?

Your likely going to need a mocking engine like Moq to achieve the above. You can do this without but mocking engines include methods specifically for this kind of thing.

Nov 14 '18 at 10:34
The EventHandlerMethod (CreateTemplates) is simply a method that creates the appropriate templates for emails based on the type of event coming in. I will change the name to be more clear, was trying to be a bit more generic than my code. @Liam Thank you I will look into Moq!

It is possible to do what I asked following the answer to another question linked above in the comments to the original about Unit Testing View Methods.
However the real answer to my question is that a different approach should be looked at, working from a TDD basis I should be looking for a testable solution, rather than creating a solution and looking for ways to test it.
