Testing by Whitelisting
You can target your survey with the “Whitelist your IP Address or Identity” option. If you are targeting your nudge before a login wall or aren’t using the Identity API feature, whitelisting your IP Address will be the best option.
Testing by Cookie Targeting
This option involves setting a cookie within your browser and testing the survey by targeting that cookie.
In the Target: Advanced section:
Step 1: In the WHO section, click the Advanced option to expand the available settings. Select the checkbox in front of the “When specified cookies are present on the user’s browser.”
Step 2: Select “Display” and “ANY” options.
Step 3: Enter “test cookie” in the input field.
Step 4: Select the “Immediately after the page loads” option in the WHEN section.
Step 5: Select the “Continue showing even if a visitor has responded” option in the HOW OFTEN section.
Now, you can activate your survey.
