# Preview Test Conversion

Before launching your campaign, it’s essential to verify that conversion tracking is working correctly. Follow the steps below to conduct a test conversion using the dashboard.

1. **Select the Campaign**

Go to your campaign list and choose the campaign you'd like to test.

**2. Open the Ad Preview**

Access the Ads section of your selected campaign. Find the specific creative you want to test, hover over the ad image, and click the **eye icon** that appears.

**3. Simulate User Behavior**

In the preview window that opens, click the ad and proceed through your sales funnel exactly as a user would.

**4. Complete a Conversion Action**

Perform the target action on your website (e.g., form submission, purchase, etc.).

Then, return to your dashboard and wait **5–15 minutes**. Check the **"Test conversions"** column to confirm that the conversion has registered. Depending on your setup, this might show under **Main Goal**, **Additional Goal 1**, or **Additional Goal 2**.

It can take up to **1 hour** for the test conversion to appear.

If you don’t see the column:

- Click the **“Columns”** button above the campaign list.
- Enable the **"Test conversions"** metric in the view options.

**Important Notes:**

- **Always test through the ad preview.** Clicking the preview sets a tracking parameter that flags the session as a test. Direct clicks from the ad interface won’t work.
- **Need help simulating a purchase or credit card submission?** If the final conversion step requires a real transaction and you can’t bypass it, ask your affiliate network to help. Simply copy the ad preview URL and send it to your affiliate manager.
- **Troubleshooting:** If the test conversion isn’t recorded, revisit each step of your tracking setup or reach out to your Adskeeper manager for assistance.
