# Test a Web Push Notification via Test Link

After you design your [Web Push notification](/docs/types-of-web-push-notifications), test whether the rules you’ve configured work as expected. This includes verifying that the notification is triggered under the correct conditions, such as user behavior, page visits, segment filters, or browser type. Testing ensures that your campaign logic functions correctly before going live, helping you identify and resolve issues.

By running controlled tests using tools like Test Message, Preview as User, or trigger simulations, you can confirm that the right users receive the notification under the right circumstances.

> [!NOTE]
> To receive Web Push notifications, you need to opt in on your website.

## Trigger Push

1. On the Launch step, set your campaign activation status to Test. Ensure the language setting is correct.
