Here’s how you test emails in the system before making them live.<\/p>\n

Testing Autoresponder Emails<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Create a test DAP Product called “Test Product”<\/li>\n
  2. Set up the email drip for this product<\/li>\n
  3. Give yourself (or a new test user, but with a real email id that belongs to you) access to this DAP Product on the Users > Manage<\/strong> page (for existing users) or Users > Add<\/strong> page for new users<\/li>\n
  4. Run the hourly-cron manually, by going to http:\/\/YourSite.com\/dap\/dap-cron.php<\/strong> . That should send out the day 1 drip for that test user.<\/li>\n
  5. Go to Users > Manage<\/strong> page, and back-date the Access Start Date for this test user for the test product, back by one day. So DAP now thinks he bought the product “Yesterday”.<\/li>\n
  6. Now run the cron manually again. This time, DAP will send out the day #2 drip for this user.<\/li>\n
  7. So every time, move the user’s access start date back by as many days as you want, to trigger that day’s autoresponder email. And each time run the cron manually.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Testing Broadcast Emails<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. Create a test DAP Product called “Test Product” (or if you have previously created one above, then use the same one)<\/li>\n
    2. Add 3-4 test users to this product<\/li>\n
    3. On the Emails > Broadcast<\/strong> page, schedule a broadcast email to be sent to “All Users of Product <<Test Product><\/strong>>”<\/li>\n
    4. Run the hourly-cron manually, by going to http:\/\/YourSite.com\/dap\/dap-cron.php<\/strong> . That should send out the broadcast to that test product.<\/li>\n
    5. Log in to the email id’s of all the test users that you added to this product, and make sure the email arrived in the inbox.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
