Testing an Alert:
Open the Alerts Sidebar: On the right side of your Count canvas, click the Alerts sidebar.
Find the Alert: Locate the alert you want to test.
Click the Test Button: Next to the alert's settings icon, you'll find a Test button (often a play icon). Click this button.
Understanding Test Results:
When you test an alert:
Subscriber Options Applied: All the subscriber options you've configured for that alert will be applied during the test. This allows you to confirm that the correct subscribers will receive the notification.
Trigger Evaluation: If the alert has a trigger condition set, Count will evaluate whether that condition is currently met.
Notification Behavior:
Trigger Not Met: If the trigger condition is not met during the test, the test alert notification will still include this alert but with a message indicating that the trigger was not satisfied. This ensures you know the alert configuration is working even if the data doesn't currently meet the criteria.
Trigger Met (or No Trigger): If the trigger condition is met (or if the alert has no trigger), a test notification containing the alert's content will be sent to all selected subscribers.
Use the test button to ensure your alert subscribers and trigger logic are set up as expected.
