Test your integration

Once everything’s set up, check whether it works as supposed to. There are several ways to test sending messages to your app or website subscribers:

Preview your first push notification on a test device

Test Devices are intended to preview how push notifications look on a device before sending them to the app users. To test out your push notifications, register your device (with your app installed) as a Test Device, and then use the Test Woosh button in the Push Preset form.

Send a push to a test segment

If you’re going to test your messages continually, consider creating a specific Filter for your testing devices to send test messages in a couple of clicks.

  1. Assign a unique Tag value to your device by calling the /setTags API method.
  2. ​Create a Segment using this particular Tag value.
  3. Go to Campaigns → Create campaign → Push notification → One-time campaign.
  4. In the Audience-based entry element, select the the segment you have created.
  5. Select push content from previously created content or create custom content.
  6. Then, click Launch campaign.
