Journeys: Sandbox Testing

Sandbox Profiles help coerce specific responses from the Sandbox API without calling any services in Production. Testing Sandbox Profiles is now readily available in Journeys without the need of external developer tools like Postman to test different Outcomes.

Create a Journeys Sandbox Profile

1. Navigate to the Journey builder and click Test.
   
   
2. Select Sandbox Profiles and click Next.

   

   3. Use the dropdown to search for any pre-configured Sandbox Profile created in your Settings page or click Create New Sandbox Profile.
      You must choose at least one Profile to run a test or you can select/create multiple Profiles. 

   
   
   

   4. If creating a new Sandbox Profile, fill out the required fields along with any additional information. Use +Add Another Attribute to use multiple attributes in a single Sandbox Profile. Click Next to continue.
      Note: A Sandbox Profile can only be edited in the Settings page.
      
   
   
   5. Branch Name and Entity Type will include options based on the configuration of your Journey, i.e person or business.
      
   6. If multiple Sandbox Profiles are selected in Step 4, you can link the Profiles together in one Journey Application. To link Profiles together, use the checkbox “Include within the same application”. If left unchecked, an application for each Sandbox profile will be created.
      
   7. Fill out any sample data for your test applicant or click Use Sample Data to have Alloy automatically insert information.
      Note: We will never override the unique identifier that you specified when configuring the Sandbox Profile. Review and click Run Test.
      
      
      
   8. The loading page will indicate the progress of your Journey Application.
      
   9. Once completed, click View Results. 
      
   10.  You will then be taken to the Application Queue and will have a unique Sandbox Profile test token applied to the search. This will automatically filter for the Journey Application(s) that were created as part of the test.
       
   11. Once you click on the application, it’ll be denoted with a few visual indicators to indicate that it’s a test application. It will also specify the sandbox profile that was used when creating the Journey Application.
