Send value to a “read” in a script

Is it possible to send a response to an "interactive menu" in a shell script but directly when calling it ?
For example, the script test.sh :
#!/bin/bash
sleep 2 #Or something else
echo "menu, select 1 for...."
read choice
if [ $choice -eq 1 ]; then
echo AMAZING
fi
How can i call the script test.sh and automatically send him 1 as my choice for the next read, without changing the code of the script.

Pipe the value you want into the script.
echo "1" | /path/to/test.sh
