Question: When we are running a Test Mode , does the email action and custom action get sent? And if it does how can we prevent it without having to remove the actions themselves?

Employee

Hello @raulto! In Test Mode, you do in fact trigger live actions such as sends for out-of-the-box channels as well as custom actions. It's worth noting that Test Mode only triggers for profiles with the test profile flag enabled, so you are not at risk of doing live sends to actual customers. This is a great was to test the end-to-end process prior to activation.

 

If you're looking for a way to test a journey with real production data to gain confidence in journey design, audience targeting and so on prior to publication, I would recommend considering the new Dry Run feature. This provides a safe test mode for practitioners that specifically does not trigger actual sends.

We have an AJO email journeys which runs in real time and send emails to the end users.  We would like to share the email content(similar to what end user receives) to other department within the organization for a reference or export to external platforms. When we search using an email address or primary id it would render the html or content summary for quick view.
can this be implemented within AJO? Or any pointers to export the content and render html from external platforms?

Thank you!

We have the 'export HTML' option, it that works for you. The other option you might want to explore is sending a proof as part of 'Simulate Content'.

We are exploring feasibility of using AEM Content Fragments in AJO. (Documentation: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/journey-optimizer/using/content-management/combine/aem-fragments)

Two questions:

1) Is there a limit on the number of CF references that can be made in a single AJO content template? We are able to test templates successfully when we have 10 Content Fragment IDs, but as soon as we add an 11th, the template will throw "Internal Server Error from Content Service. (CJMPTS - 1510-500)"

2) Is there a way to inject dynamic content fragment IDs? So following the documentation, we can add AEM content fragment ID xyz1234 as:

{{fragment id='aem:xyz1234?repoId=author-p1234567890.adobeaemcloud.com' result='cf'}}

But what if we wanted this fragment ID to be dynamic? Say it was stored as a profile attribute _profile.myCustomCFID. Is there a way to do something like this?

{{fragment id='aem:{{_profile.myCustomCFID}}?repoId=author-p1234567890.adobeaemcloud.com' result='cf'}}
