Understanding Alloy Sandbox

Learn how Alloy Sandbox supports testing without making live third-party vendor calls or incurring vendor charges.

Alloy Sandbox is a testing mode for Evaluations and Journey Applications. It lets you test your integration and workflow logic without making live calls to third-party data vendors.

What happens in Sandbox?

Sandbox uses Alloy-provided test responses instead of contacting third-party vendors. Because no vendor calls are made, Sandbox testing does not incur third-party vendor charges.

Sandbox is intended for testing and should not be used to make live production decisions. Use the Sandbox Profiles feature when you need to test specific service responses or workflow outcomes.

Important data considerations

Sandbox and Production are processing modes within your Alloy account, not a completely separate Alloy account. Use unique or clearly prefixed identifiers for test data to help prevent it from being confused with production data.
