Testing Streams in Marketo

[Mikes_Jones]

so I'm testing a stream in Marketo using my own email address. I've ran the test in the past, so when I went to go run it today, instead of re-sending me the first email from the stream I was sent the next email in the stream that I had not received yet.

While it's nice to know that Marketo doesn't resend emails, I thought the whole point of testing a stream is so you could actually test it. I don't feel like creating a whole new email address or lead everytime I want to go back and retest all my emails.

More info: All my emails are nested in programs, which are then inserted into the streams.

Anyway around this?

Yes

You essentially need a list of test leads with yourname+x11@x.com so you can get the emails in the same box, but have unique records.

Alternatively, you could push your lead out of the program and then back in, although this may no longer work.

I believe that in the case of emails in the stream, iIf you remove the record from an engagement program and add it back in, it will pick up from where it left off. However, if you are using nested programs to send the email, you can remove a record from the nested program and it should qualify for it again, hence allowing for the email to be sent again.

Awesome - thanks! Will try this

Hi Malik,

Are you talking about the embedded stream test feature or just adding your lead to the stream ?
