Is a tool aimed to facilitate interactions with channels, giving access to the most outstanding transactional channels simply by subscribing a code generated in the tenant's properties, this way waiting times and preconditions to test our developments with an oriented integration to channels are avoided, this feature is available in the Development environment and does not affect other environments. The channels available in Lynn Channels Sandbox may vary according to Lynn's channel offer.

Important:

  • This new feature is available to run channel tests in the Development Environment.
