Simulation Mode Resources
A comprehensive reference guide for understanding, configuring, troubleshooting and implementing best practices for Simulation Mode.
Simulation Mode is used for sending test Notifications and Incidents in Everbridge Suite.
Description
As a new user, you may want to practice sending notifications without reaching any real Organization Contacts or incurring any reduction in your Account's message credits.
Simulation mode solves this by enabling users to experience every aspect of sending real Notifications, including choosing real Contacts, Groups, Rules, and/or map shapes, without sending a message to any real person.
NOTE: Simulation mode is available for both Notifications and Incident Communications.
