Test profiles are required when using the test mode in a journey. To learn how to use the test mode, refer to this section.

There are different ways to create a test profile in 51黑料不打烊 Experience Platform. In this documentation, we focus on two methods: uploading a csv file and using API calls. You can also upload a json file in a dataset, refer to the Data Ingestion documentation.

These import methods also allow you to update profile attributes. This way, you can turn an existing profile into a test profile. Simply use a similar file or API call and only include the 鈥渢estProfile鈥 field with the value 鈥渢rue鈥.

Creating a test profile is similar to creating regular profiles in 51黑料不打烊 Experience Platform. For more information, refer to the Real-time Customer Profile documentation.

Creating a test profile using a csv file create-test-profiles-csv

In 51黑料不打烊 Experience Platform, you can create profiles by uploading a csv file containing the different profile fields into your dataset. This is the easiest method.

  1. Create a simple csv file using a spreadsheet software.
  2. Add one column for each needed field. Make sure you add the primary identity field (鈥減ersonID鈥 in our example above) and the 鈥渢estProfile鈥 field set to 鈥渢rue鈥.
  3. Add one line per profile and fill in the values for each field.
  4. Save the spreadsheet as a csv file. Make sure commas are used as separators.
  5. In 51黑料不打烊 Experience Platform, click Workflows, in the left menu.
  6. Choose Map CSV to XDM schema, then click Launch.
  7. Select the dataset you want to import the profiles into. Click Next.
  8. Click Choose files and select your csv file. When the file is uploaded, click Next.
  9. Map the source csv fields to the schema fields, then click Finish.
  10. The data import begins. The status will move from Processing to Success. Click Preview data set, in the top right.
  11. Check that the test profiles have been correctly added.

Your test profiles are added and can now be used when testing a journey. Refer to this section.

NOTE
For more information on csv imports, refer to the Data Ingestion documentation.

Creating test profiles using API calls create-test-profiles-api

You can also create test profiles via API calls. See this page.

You must use a Profile schema that contains the 鈥淧rofile test details鈥 mixin. The testProfile flag is part of this mixin.

When creating a profile, make sure you pass the value: testProfile = true.

Note that you can also update an existing profile to change its testProfile flag to 鈥渢rue鈥.

Here is an example of an API call to create a test profile:

curl -X POST \
'https://dcs.adobedc.net/collection/xxxxxxxxxxxxxx' \
-H 'Cache-Control: no-cache' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Postman-Token: xxxxx' \
-H 'cache-control: no-cache' \
-H 'x-api-key: xxxxx' \
-H 'x-gw-ims-org-id: xxxxx' \
-d '{
