Using the Demo Environment

Always use the URL tag-demo.mention-me.com in your tags when developing and testing. The demo server is a production-like version of Mention Me set up with your account and test campaigns that display when you make tag requests. You can send the demo system test or mocked customer data without the risk of real coupons being given out or cash/rewards changing hands. We can give you access to the client dashboard on the demo server at your request so you can review the state of the integration.
Use your browser’s Network or Console tabs (filter to mention-me.com) to see exactly how the tag is being called and diagnose any issues.
The offers and forms can be disabled at any time from the Mention Me platform without requiring any development work. You can go live with the integration tags before any campaign is designed to start - campaigns can start, change and finish without any further development involvement.

​
Debug Mode

Debug mode is a setting on the Debug Dashboard that switches it from its default near-real-time view to instant, real-time monitoring of incoming tag data. It’s especially useful when testing on your live site: without it enabled, live tag requests can return a 403 Forbidden response before your integration has been approved to go live.
1

Enable debug mode

In the Mention Me platform, go to Settings & Tools > Tools > Debug Dashboard, then click Enable debug mode. See Debug Dashboard for more detail on what the dashboard shows you.
2

Inspect tag events

Check all tag firing events using the browser’s Network or Console tabs. These will show you exactly how each tag is being called and allow you to diagnose any issues.
3

Verify tag content

The following content should be served for each tag:
  • Referrer tag: If integrated correctly, content should be served on the order confirmation and landing page.
  • Referee tag: The “Been referred by a friend?” link should be injected on the page. When clicked, content should be served.

​
Publishing to Live

After you’ve implemented and tested the tags, you can publish them to your live site.
Make sure to switch from tag-demo.mention-me.com to the live URL tag.mention-me.com when you deploy your integration.
You can publish the tags at any time on your live site - content will only show when the integration is approved by us.
