Test mode

New teams start in test mode. It relaxes two production guards so you can integrate before your DNS is configured:

  1. You can send from an unverified domain.
  2. You can send with unpublished (draft) templates.

Everything else behaves like production: quota, suppressions, events, webhooks.

Toggling

Section titled “Toggling”

Turn test mode off (or back on) in the console, or via the API:

Terminal window
curl -X PATCH https://api.sendsignal.dev/team \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ss_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"test_mode": false}'

GET /team shows the current setting. Before disabling test mode, make sure you’ve verified a domain and published any templates you send with; otherwise those sends will start failing with domain_not_verified or a validation error.
