Prepare a safe test workspace

Create clean sample data for training, imports, campaigns, and agent tests without touching live outreach.

5 min read

Before you start

  • Use a demo workspace when training teammates, testing imports, recording tutorials, or trying a new workflow before using production data.
  • Demo data should be realistic enough to teach the workflow but safe enough to share internally or publicly.
  • Do not include private customer records, real secrets, billing details, or active recipient data in a demo workspace.

Steps

Step 1

Create a separate workspace

Keep demo work separate from production outreach. Use a clear name so teammates do not confuse test campaigns or lists with live work.

Step 2

Add safe sample contacts and lists

Create small sample lists with non-sensitive names, companies, and emails. Use clear segments so training examples make sense.

Add safe sending examples

Show email account setup, validation states, and sender rotation concepts without exposing passwords, tokens, API keys, or real mailbox credentials.

Step 4

Create example campaigns and agents

Use draft or paused examples to teach campaign building, validation, agent configuration, and review workflows without triggering real outreach.

Review before sharing

Before using the workspace for training or documentation, check every visible page for private names, emails, phone numbers, account details, tokens, and billing information.

What happens next

  • Use the demo workspace for screenshots, tutorials, internal onboarding, and workflow testing.
  • Refresh demo data when product UI or examples change so guides stay accurate.

FAQ

Can I use production data for training?

Avoid it. Demo data is safer and makes tutorials easier to follow.

Should demo campaigns be active?

No. Keep examples in draft or paused states unless you have a controlled test recipient setup.
