Hey Sam, so while you can setup recurring batch campaigns to test flow steps and alerts, things like that, many of the key tests you would want to run would require developer support, like form fills.

One of my friends actually developed an auto testing tool which I think is fantastic, direct message me and I'll put you in touch!

I'd love to see some examples of automated testing on these campaigns, is there a way to automatically run a lead through these campaigns and send an alert on success?

Thanks for these Tips and Tricks Darrell Alfonso​. I totally agree with all the above points and specially about the point on testing. Regularly testing  critical forms and campaigns are extremely important. Thanks again for sharing. Look forward to read through the champion eBook too.

Thanks, Darrell. Totally agree with tip #1 - taking the time to define the statuses and what success is before just setting them willy nilly - will take more time in the long run to re-do work!

Nice job Darrell! I definitely agree about getting buy-in from all stakeholders on what success is.

This is great! Thanks, Darrell Alfonso​! I think #2 is so important, definitely something worth while! We use an automated dialer, which we wouldn't be able to use without data normalization.

Good points! While seems obvious, I think your point #1 is the most important. Get all stakeholders on the same page.
