Sandbox Values Settings: Overview

Negative Testing with Sandbox Personas

Sandbox Personas allow you to coerce specific service responses out of the sandbox environment. The default behavior of the sandbox environment is to approve every application that it receives. By using Sandbox Entity Tokens to trigger flags in our workflow, we can trigger Manual Reviews and Denials. 

1. Click the Gear icon to access the settings menu. 

2. Click Sandbox Values to access the Sandbox Personas menu. 

3. Click Add Persona to add a new persona. 

4. Click Add Sandbox Value to Persona, then choose the attribute you are looking to test. Add a value to the persona. 

5. In our example, we're looking to trigger a Fraud Warning (which will lead to a denial), which is set if the IDAnalytics ID Score is above 850. Therefore, if the evaluation has an IDAnalytics ID score of 900, it will trigger the Fraud Warning and a Denied outcome. 

6. Click Add Identifier and create a mock SSN to trigger the sandbox value.

In our example, the SSN is "000-00-0001", which would be passed in the body of the call to /evaluations as shown in the example below.

{
    "name_first" : "John",
    "name_last" : "Smith",
    "document_ssn" : "000000001",
    "address_line_1" : "41 Elizabeth St."
    "address_line_2" : "St. 501",
    <...>
}

7. Finally, click Save Values to make the persona useable.
