How to test your journey for different trigger types?

Before sending the journey to your recipients, it's always a good practice to test the journey with your email address or some of your teammates' email addresses. Please note that you'll also be able to test a running or paused journey.

Step 1: After you've configured the journey, click on the Next button on the top right of the journey builder.

Step 2: Enter the email address for whom you wish to simulate the journey.

Step 3: Customize the delay as per your need in the next step. The delay value entered here will override the actual delay values configured in Wait for time period, Wait till specific time, and Wait for an event while executing the test journeys.

Step 4: Change the contact personalization as per your requirement. The value you enter here will reflect in place of the $(personalization_parameter) in the recipient's email address

Step 5: Click on Test Journey and a test journey will execute as configured. 

Please check if the journey is executed as expected and make changes if necessary.

Test journey behaviour if the trigger is a Form submission trigger

Enter the test data for the form questions and a journey will get triggered if the test data meets the trigger condition configured in the journey.

If the test values entered for form submissions don't meet the criteria set in the form submission trigger, then the test journey will not be triggered.

Test journey behavior if the trigger is the Occurrence of an event.

Enter the test event data and a journey will get triggered if the test event and its properties meet the trigger condition configured in the journey.

If the test event data entered don't meet the criteria set in the occurrence of an event trigger, then the test journey will not be triggered.
