Step 1: Enable Sandbox mode
When you start using Console for the first time, Sandbox mode is enabled by default. You can switch between Sandbox mode and Production mode (which uses real data) in the left-side panel:
Step 2: Launch Link Emulator
To start testing, click Flows in Console:
Step 3: Select a company or platform
After clicking Continue on the first screen, you are directed to the second screen that allows a user to search for and choose their employer or payroll platform. For the purposes of testing in the Sandbox, we provide two slightly different data sets:
- Rideshare/Delivery — if you select a gig company like Uber or Doordash, the data has more activity information (duration, distance, etc).
- General — if you select any other company or payroll platform, the data reflects traditional employment records.
Step 4: Log in using test credentials
Within the Sandbox, there are three test users with their respective credentials. Please select any of them and enter the required information during the authentication process. These credentials work for any company or platform on the list.
The Sandbox environment only allows the usage of our test credentials. If you try to enter real credentials, an error appears.
Step 5: See employment records in the Your users tab
Click on the Connections page in Console. Next, click on the individual user to be directed to their data sets.
Data is organized into various categories.
