Automations

Test an automation

Runs the saved automation END-TO-END through the real workflow in TEST mode — works on drafts and for both event and manual-audience automations; every node executes (filters/splits evaluate against payload, wait nodes fast-forward). Pass testRecipient to DELIVER each send-email node’s email for real to that address (real subject/preview/sender name via the Brew test domain; customer addresses are never hit) — omit it for a silent dry-run with no mail. Test runs never count against analytics rollups or send quotas. Returns 202 with the started run id; follow per-node status via GET /v1/automations/runs?automationRunId=&include=logs.
