Summary

Chargebee lets you test several scenarios that involve customer end actions such as, Requesting a payment method, Bill Payments, etc. using the Time Machine feature. The Time Machine simulates traveling back and test renewals and time-bound scenarios, therefore it does not include generating emails or OTPs to your customers that require prompt delivery and immediate attention.

Info:

  1. Emails that were scheduled for particular actions in the time machine will be logged in the system but not triggered or delivered. You can find these emails under Customers > click the specific customer record > scroll down > click the Emails tab. 
  2. The OTP mails will not be seen or sent to the customer when you use Time Machine on Chargebee's site.
