Sandbox
In deployment environments, a sandbox (or experimental environment) is a place for experiments that are not intended to move into production. It appears alongside environments such as QC and acceptance testing, outside the development-testing-production flow.

In business automation
A sandbox is an isolated environment for experiments that should not affect real operations. It is useful when connecting to a new service, especially when actions create documents, messages, or changes that are difficult to undo.
Examples
These examples illustrate a possible workflow. Adapt the connections and rules to your own systems.
Business process example
A developer tests a payment integration with test data and dedicated keys. They verify that webhooks and callback URLs also belong to the test environment, and that no message reaches a real customer.
Relevant tools
- Pipedream
- You can build and test processes with sample data. Isolating destination services requires separate configuration.
What to check
- A name like test in the code does not provide isolation. Check which account, server, and message inbox the request actually uses.
