# Test New Event Types
Once you have successfully added a new event type, it is important to perform end-to-end tests to confirm that conversions are being reported to impact.com correctly. The *Test Actions* utility can be used to assist with this process, for a wide variety of event type integrations including [website pixel (JavaScript)](https://integrations.impact.com/impact-brand/docs/javascript-utt-tracking-integration), [Conversions API](https://integrations.impact.com/impact-brand/docs/api-tracking-integration), or [FTP](https://integrations.impact.com/impact-brand/docs/ftp-tracking-introduction) integrations. You should perform end-to-end tests of each new event type that you add.
{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important:** Perform testing in your staging or QA environments, then once you are ready, impact.com requires that you perform at least one end-to-end test of each new event type in your production environment. This production end-to-end test should be viewed as a final validation before the launch of a new event type.

If you are working with the impact.com onboarding team, you will receive a Technical *Implementation Plan* with guidelines specific to your implementation. Otherwise, the impact.com [integrations portal](https://integrations.impact.com/impact-brand/docs/quickstart) provides guidance for many common integration methods.

#### Run a conversion test
1. From the top navigation bar, select  **\[User profile] → Settings**.
2. On the right, under *Tracking*, select **Event Types**.
3. Hover your cursor over the event type you want to test, select  **\[More] → Test**.
4. Select the **Template Term**, **Ad** and optionally, change the **Landing Page URL**. All event type tests will use your program's default landing page unless otherwise specified.
5. Select **Start Test in New Window**. A new browser tab will open, which will immediately direct to the URL chosen in Step 4 above.
6. Complete a test conversion on your website, in the same browser and in the same session as the one you used to select **Start Test in New Window**. Record the Order ID and payload parameters (i.e., product details, discount, price, etc.).
* For *Sale* transactions, complete several tests with multiple SKUs, with a minimum quantity of 2 for each SKU, and some tests *with* a promo code and discount and some *without* a promo code and discount.
* For *Lead* transactions, complete several transactions to test variations in payload parameters such as promo codes, notes, or text fields, that are relevant to your expected payout conditions.
#### Review test results
1. Log in to your impact.com user account.
2. Retrieve the tracked conversion payload details by following these steps:
* From the left navigation bar, select  **\[Engage] → Transactions → Test Actions**.
* Find your test conversion(s) based on the *Order Id* you recorded above.
* Hover your cursor over the transaction and select  **\[More] → See Details**.
3. Review the conversion payload details paying attention to revenue, discounts, product details, and any other element that will potentially affect partner payouts.
* If all the details are as expected, select **Approve**. Congratulations! Your event type is validated and successfully integrated.
* If any details are not correct, select **Reject**. If you reject the end-to-end test result, you will need to correct the integration and repeat the end-to-end process for that conversion event until you achieve a successful result.
4. It may take up to 30 minutes for a test transaction to surface on the *Test Actions* screen. If your test transaction does not appear on the test transaction screen, contact your Implementation Engineer, or **support**.
