Testers & Distribution Groups

With Updraft you can easily manage your app testers and your distribution groups.

Last updated 7 months ago

All your testers and groups you add to your app project do not have to register first

Testers

You can manage all your testers on the Tester & Distribution Groups page within the Distribution page of your App project.

On the Tester & Distribution Groups page you can:

  • Add new testers with their e-mail adress

  • Import Testers from a .csv file

Add new testers

  1. Open your App

  2. Go to the Distribution Page

  3. Click on Tester & Distribution Groups

  4. Select the Tester tab

  5. Type in your Tester e-mail address

  6. Click on enter

Your testers e-mail address is now successfully added to your testers distribution list.

Import testers with .csv file

You can easily add a bunch of testers with the help of a .csv file., either as single testers or add them straight to your distribution group.

The .csv file must contain the tester's email address only.

Example of a .csv file

test@getupdraft.com;
test+1@getupdraft.com;
test+2@getupdraft.com
test+3@getupdraft.com

All added Testers are automatically added to your distribution list of your app project.
