Overview

Test mode is an important part of your messaging workflow—not only as a QA step, but to ensure that

Setting up Test Mode needs to be done by your development team, and usually happens during your SDK onboarding process. Feel free to send your developers here for more information:

Using Test Mode

You’ll be able to access Test Mode at the Confirm and Send phase of your message building. There should be a button for Test on Device. Click it to access Test Mode.

You’ll need to Enable Test Mode for this message, by clicking the Enable Test Mode button.


When you enable test mode you’ll have a few options for testing your push message.

Copy the URL and open it on your device. This should automatically open your app, and display the message you’ve crafted.

Alternatively, you can use your phone’s camera app scan the QR code. This will again, open your app and display the message.

If you’re having trouble getting the QR code to scan, download the Localytics QR scanner (for iOS) here. It’s specifically designed to scan our QR codes, and will help in your testing process.

Finally you can have Localytics deliver the link to your device via SMS or Email. Simply fill in the information to receive the link.

When you’re done testing, disable test mode.
