Do the people I send a link to need an Appcues account to view the test flow? Is there any chance that an end-user will see these flows? Will test mode views count towards analytics on the analytics page? Will test mode views count against my flow view count if I have an Appcues trial account? How do I make the test link start on a different page?

FAQs on Test Mode. Test mode allows teammates to review your flows in a live environment, without requiring them to log in to Appcues or install the Appcues Builder.

Do the people I send a link to need an Appcues account to view the test flow?

No. Anyone with the link can view the test flow! No Appcues account required :) If the page in your product where the flow is located is behind a login, then they will need credentials to your product.

Is there any chance that an end-user will see these flows?

The flow is only available to people who have the share link -- so unless you share a link with an end-user, there's no way they will see a flow that is being tested. End users will start seeing the flow once you publish it live to them.

Will test mode views count towards analytics on the analytics page?

No. Only views of live flows are counted towards analytics, test flow views won't appear on the analytics page.

Will test mode views count against my flow view count if I have an Appcues trial account?

No. Only live flows will count towards your trial views. We want you to test your flows freely -- and see Appcues' value through live flows to your end users, so test flow views won't count towards your trial flow view count.

How do I make the test link start on a different page?

Change the "Build URL" -- this can be edited on the flow settings page, right underneath the flow title.
