Outcome: After this step, you've verified end-to-end that inputs reach your webhook and results return via callback in the correct format.
The Test step lets you run a complete end-to-end test of your AI Tool before submitting for review. This ensures your automation works correctly and delivers results in the expected format.
Step 5: Test Tutorial
Overview
Testing creates a "test order" that simulates the complete buyer experience – from filling out inputs to receiving results. This helps you catch issues before your AI Tool goes live.
How testing works
Fill out inputs – Use the same form buyers will see
Submit test order – We send inputs to your webhook
Processing starts – Your automation receives and processes the data
Status checking – We check every 2 seconds for completion
Results display – Output appears when your automation sends callback
Test environment features
Real input forms
Identical to production – Same form buyers will use
All input types supported – Text, files, dates, selections, etc.
File uploads – Test with real files if your AI Tool processes them
Validation – Form validation works exactly like for buyers
Live processing
Real webhook calls – We send actual data to your automation
Production headers – Same authentication headers as live orders
Real callback URL – Your automation sends results to our callback endpoint
Status tracking – See processing status updates in real-time
Supported result types
Text and data
text – Plain text displays with formatting preserved
json – Formatted and syntax-highlighted for readability
csv – Displayed as a table with sortable columns
url – Opens hosted content in a new tab (including HTML files)
Files and documents
file – Download link with file type detection
xlsx – Excel files with download and preview options
url – Clickable links to external resources
Multi-file results
File gallery – Visual grid of multiple files
Individual downloads – Download each file separately
ZIP downloads – "Download All as ZIP" for convenience
File details – Names, types, and sizes displayed
Testing best practices
Use realistic inputs
Real data – Test with actual websites, product names, or data files
Edge cases – Try unusual inputs to see how your automation handles them
File variety – Upload different file types and sizes if applicable
Required fields – Verify required field validation works
Verify complete workflow
Input processing – Confirm your automation receives all input data
Callback delivery – Ensure results are sent back successfully
Output format – Check that results match your expected format
Error handling – Test what happens when processing fails
Common test scenarios
SEO Analysis Agent test
Input: website_url: https://example.com
Expected: URL to hosted report with SEO recommendations
Check: Report contains analysis sections and actionable advice
Product Research Agent test
Input: search_term: wireless headphones, platform_context: "Amazon" (context only; results are used manually)
Expected: CSV file with product data
Check: CSV downloads correctly and contains price/rating data
Content Audit Agent test
Input: Upload PDF file with marketing content
Expected: Text report with grammar and style feedback
Check webhook logs – Verify your automation received the request
Validate callback – Ensure you're sending results to the correct URL
Check callback secret – Verify you're including the x-callback-secret header
Review error logs – Look for processing errors in your automation
Results not displaying correctly
Output format – Confirm you're sending the correct output type
File encoding – Use proper base64 encoding for file results
JSON structure – Validate callback payload matches expected format
Content type – Ensure proper MIME types for file results
Important notes
💡 Test environment isolation
• Test orders don't affect your earnings or analytics
• Test data isn't stored permanently in our system
• Test orders don't appear in customer order lists
• Use test orders freely to refine your AI Tool
Callback requirements
Required header – Must include x-callback-secret
Order ID – Include the order ID we sent in your webhook payload
Success response – Use ok: true for successful results
Error handling – Use ok: false with error details for failures
Tips for successful testing
Test multiple times – Run several tests with different inputs
Monitor your logs – Check your automation platform's execution logs
Test file handling – If your AI Tool processes files, upload various types
Verify timing – Ensure processing completes within your estimated ETA
Document issues – Keep notes on any problems you discover
What's next?
Once testing confirms your AI Tool works correctly, you'll proceed to the final Review & Submit step where you can preview your listing and submit for admin approval.
