Question

Are destination filters applied when using the Segment Event Tester to send events to a destination?

Product

Twilio Segment

Environment

Segment Console

Answer

No, destination filters are not applied to events sent through the Segment Event Tester. Test events sent using the Event Tester bypass any destination filters configured in your workspace. This means that even if filters would block certain events in your real-time pipeline, those same events will be delivered to the destination when sent via the Event Tester.

Additional Information 

To accurately test how filters affect your events, use real-time event delivery rather than the Event Tester. For more details, refer to Segment’s documentation on destination filters and event delivery.
