Test your integration

Make sure everything works correctly by sending a test message

Watch this video where our dedicated Customer Success team will guide you through the onboarding process at Pushwoosh, from setting up projects to sending your first communications.

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 push button in the Push Content form.

Send a push to a test segment

If you're going to test your messages continually, consider creating a specific Segment 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 notificationOne-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.

Send an email to a selected list of addresses

To test email messages:

  1. Make sure you've verified the email address and domain name from which you're going to send emails.

  2. Prepare email content using Drag & drop email editor or HTML code editor.

  3. Go to Campaigns → Create campaign → EmailOne-time campaign.

  4. Create a Segment with a list of addresses you want to send a test email to.

  5. Select email content you want to send and set up your email.

  6. Click Launch campaign.

To simplify test emailing, send emails to specific Segments as described above.
