Test Mode

Enable Test Mode to test your campaigns and integrations before going live.

Video Tutorial

Refer to the video below to enable test mode.

Overview

Test Mode allows you to test your campaigns safely before sending them to your audience. When you enable Test mode, campaigns go only to selected test contacts. This process ensures that everything looks and works correctly without impacting real users.

Test Mode helps with the testing of web and app integrations. You integrate your UAT/Test websites and apps just as you would in Live Mode, but these sites, apps, and their data remain restricted to Test Mode.

For existing Netcore CE dashboard users, we migrate UAT/Test websites and apps already integrated into your account upon request. However, test data does not migrate. You can also test campaigns by sharing your test app or website with selected users. As they interact, their contacts are added to Test Mode. You can then run campaigns and review the content, links, and overall appearance.
