Testing Your Customer.io Integration

In order to test if emails successfully send to Customer.io you need to do the following:

  • Have a competition created with a Subscribe action
  • Ensure that this action is linked to an existing list in Customer.io
  • Enter the action manually from your competition dashboard
  • The action will become invalidated (since we automatically invalidate admin actions)
  • Go to the Actions tab for that competition, then make your action valid
  • It should appear in Customer.io within a few minutes
