Test your Engagements

Build and Test

• Use a Naming Convention (i.e. [TESTING] New User Guide)
• Build your engagement and test using one or both of these methods:

Method 1: Targeted Audience

This test method is used to confirm that the engagement will launch at the desired time. For example, you may want to launch a guide when a user activates a feature in real-time. Therefore, you may want to test this against just your user before launching it live for all of your users.

In the below screenshot, you see the Audience Criteria for the engagement defines the engagement to launch when a user activates the "Charts" feature. To test it, you can also include a User filter that targets those on your team who will be testing the engagement (email that contains acme.com)

In the Schedule Criteria, use Qualification Scope so that you can test your engagement with the below options:

• Only Once: Choosing this scope means the user will see the engagement a single time across any number of visits under the specified date range.
• Intervals: The user will see the engagement over a specified period of time. When the number of presentations is met, the engagement will be snoozed until the next interval.
• Once per visit: Choosing this scope means the user will be qualified once per visit, mostly used for 'continues critical announcements' or testing purposes.
• Every Time (Every Event): Choosing this scope means the user will be qualified on every event level, mostly used for 'Paywall or access control'.
• For Every Time (Every Event) tracking usage: Gainsight PX tracks all events once per visit. For example, if the user completes NPS® Survey multiple times, Gainsight PX considers and counts it only once.

To learn more about Qualification Scope, refer to the In-app Engagement Qualification Scope article from the Additional Resources section.

Method 2: Preview Mode

This test method is used to see how the engagement will look and behave in your selected environment. It ignores the audience criteria so that you can preview the engagement.

On the engagement header, click the preview icon to launch your engagement.

Ready to Deploy

Perform the following deployment steps to ensure a foolproof launching of your engagement:

• Remove the Audience criteria that targeted only your team.
• Ensure that the Qualification Scope is set to only once.
• Rename the Engagement Name (such as [LIVE] New User Guide)
• Launch the engagement.
