By following these best practices, you can ensure your testing environment remains clean and free of unintended contact associations. This helps preserve data integrity and ensures accurate results during setup and QA processes.
Account Creation
Use test email addresses or domains that are not associated to real contacts.
Submit each identifier (email, phone) in separate sessions.
Clear cookies or use incognito mode between submissions.
Acquisition via Popups
Start a new browser session or clear cookies before each test submission.
Use unlinked test emails to prevent associations.
Space out submissions and avoid entering multiple identifiers in quick succession.
Acquisition via Tap-to-Join
Use unlinked test identifiers when submitting Tap-to-Join forms.
Submit each identifier in a separate session.
Avoid collecting multiple identifiers in a single form during testing.
Placing Test Orders
Always use unlinked test emails.
Place orders from a new session, clear cookies or use incognito mode.
Never use real customer identifiers when placing test orders.
Message Engagement - Clicks
Avoid forwarding live campaign messages for testing purposes.
Send test messages to unlinked identities.
Clear cookies or use incognito mode before clicking any test links.
SMS Campaigns
Use unlinked test phone numbers.
Do not reply with real phone numbers during SMS testing.
Conduct tests in isolated sessions to prevent linking.
Use the original link in messages, not the Listrak generated shortened link.
For example, use your site's full URL
https://www.mycompany.com
