Introduction

Hey there! Ready to test your Deadline Funnel campaign?

In this guide, we'll walk through how to test your evergreen Deadline Funnel campaign.

If you're not using a direct integration, please click here for links to all our other testing guides.

1. Go to the Testing tab in your campaign editor and click on Clear My Tracking:


Another page will pop up, where you should click Clear My Tracking again. This will clear only your tracking data.

2. Enter the email address that you want to use for this test:


3. You can now see that Deadline Funnel is waiting for our test user to go through the webhook:

4. In our example, we are using ActiveCampaign, so we will now create a test user in ActiveCampaign to go through the webhook. How to add a user might be different in your email platform.

We'll go to ActiveCampaign ➔ Contacts ➔ Add Contacts:

5. Fill out the information for your test user. Use the email address you wrote in Deadline Funnel in step 2. When you are done, click Add:


6. Under Add to automations, you should select the automation that this campaign is for. Once you've selected the correct automation, click Apply:


7. Open Deadline Funnel, and now you should be able to see that your user has been added to the campaign:


If you can see that the event was received, it means that your integration is working!


What's next?

If everything is working as expected, you're ready to go live!

We recommend clearing your tracking again at this point (so you can access your pages again!)

It's also helpful to enable Preview Mode, which will allow you to add your IP to a whitelist so you don't get redirected away from your own page in the future.
