Test Mode

Use Test Mode when you want to check your event setup without sending data to configured destinations.

Send Test Events

1. Open your source in the Ours Privacy dashboard and copy its test token.
2. Use that token in your test implementation.
3. Open Recent Events, select Send debug events, and open your site in debug mode. For API requests, use the example in the REST API tab with your test token.
4. Perform the action you want to test, then select the event marked Test Event.
5. Check its properties and destination mappings. The destination payloads are recorded for inspection without being delivered.

Choose the Right Tool

• Test Mode prevents events from being delivered to configured destinations.
• Event debugging makes your events easy to find in Recent Events. You can use it with a test token or a live token.
• Tag Manager preview runs unpublished tags in your preview tab. It does not enable Test Mode or event debugging.

For automated checks, the Test Events API sends test events and lets you verify destination routing.

Finish Testing

Choose Stop debugging in the Recent Events launcher when you finish. When you are ready to send real events to destinations, replace your test token with the live token.
