You can now test your In-app campaign as your users would see it. Initially, you could preview your campaigns and test their UI, but now, you can perform end-to-end tests throughout their run.
This feature is available for all trigger types and lets you test the trigger condition, targeting options, and delivery controls of your In-app campaign.

To test your campaign, go to the third step of the campaign creation process and click on Test Campaign.

Perform
At this stage, you will see a list of steps that you will need to perform to test your campaign. These steps will depend on the configuration you set while creating your campaign.
There can be different steps based on the following three trigger criteria -
- On App Open
- On Specific Screen
- On Custom Event
On App Open
To perform the test, follow the steps mentioned. For example, in this case, you just need to click on the push notification. Since the trigger is "On App Open", the pop-up should appear as soon as you open the app.
After performing these steps, click on View Test Results to find out whether your In-App campaign was sent successfully or not.
On Specific Screen
If you want to test In-App campaigns with the campaign trigger being On Specific Screen, you will see an additional step under Perform these steps.
This step will be: Go to screen: The screen you choose
To successfully test this In-App campaign, you must navigate to the screen that you choose to view the campaign. For example, if you want to show the campaign on your Checkout Screen, you must navigate to your app's checkout screen during this process.
After viewing the In-App campaign, click on View Test Results to proceed.
On Custom Event
This feature also allows you to test the In-App campaigns with custom trigger events. If you have created your campaign using the custom trigger, you will see that as a step while testing your campaign.
This step will be: Perform trigger: The trigger you selected.
To successfully test this In-App campaign, you will need to perform the trigger that you have selected to view the campaign. For example, if you want to show the campaign on the "Add to cart" trigger, you must click the "add to cart" button during this process.
After performing the steps, click on View Test Results to proceed.
