Our Test URL feature allows you to see what pop-ups look like on your website before you’re ready to go live. All you have to do is click a link, and the lightbox will display on your site. You can share these URLs with your team to gather feedback and make improvements. The link has special URL parameters so the test campaigns only display for people who have that exact link (i.e. regular website visitors won’t notice anything).
Here’s how to use test URLs:
1. Check your profile to make sure your website (or even a specific website page) is listed in your Profile section (https://account.digioh.com/
2. To make sure the test campaigns work, first make sure that:
- the Digioh JavaScript is on your site
- your lightbox or widget is turned ON
- your lightbox has at least one condition associated with it (any condition)
3. Click the Preview and Select Preview on Website (see image below) to display the test lightbox on your site:
4. If you test an inline widget (not a lightbox, sidebar, or banner), Digioh will automatically display it as a lightbox. This is because inline forms require placement (smart tag or jQuery placement).
New Functionality: Preview and Test Campaigns with Ease
We are excited to introduce a significant update that streamlines the process of previewing and testing campaigns on your site. With this new functionality, you can bypass traditional force/test conditions and directly display any published campaign by simply using a query string parameter.
Key Features:
- Direct Campaign Display: Utilize the
DIGIOH_BOX_IDquery string parameter to force the display of a specific campaign by appending?DIGIOH_BOX_ID=box_idto your URL, wherebox_idis the ID of the campaign you wish to display. - Enhanced Diagnostics: In cases where you attempt to force an inline campaign on a page lacking the necessary smart tag or jQuery selector, the system will not only notify you of the issue but also automatically convert the inline campaign into a sidebar format for display purposes.
- Simplified Sharing: Easily share the URLs with specific campaign displays directly with customers or team members for streamlined collaboration and feedback.
How to Use:
- Locate Your Campaign ID: Identify the ID of the campaign you wish to preview or test. This can usually be found in the campaign settings or campaigns management interface.
- Modify the URL: Append
?DIGIOH_BOX_ID=your_box_idto the end of your website’s URL, replacingyour_box_idwith the actual ID of the campaign you’re testing. This is how it would look https://digioh.com/blogs/?DIGIOH_BOX_ID=123456 - Preview and Test: Navigate to the modified URL in your web browser. The specified campaign will be displayed, bypassing any set conditions.
- Review Diagnostics: If there are any issues with displaying the campaign as intended, the system will provide you with diagnostic messages to guide your next steps.
