Testing

For getting an actual SMS to your handset in the TT02 test environment, please send a request to tjenesteeier@altinn.no to add your number to the allow-list. Unlisted numbers are treated as real, but sent to a simulator instead of a real network provider (i.e if passing validation, are accepted by the API and appears as successfully delivered to the handset).

Test-emails are sent as normal. Please note that in some cases the recipient identifies this as spam, so please check the appropriate folders if the order has a success-state.

NB1: If you are configuring a Tenor test user for SMS (in their capacity as an individual), please note that there is a separate SMS allow-listing process required (to get the KRR auth-code confirming the update). See KRR testbrukere | KRR

NB2: There is a delay of up to 10 minutes for any changes to contact-information for a person or organization to take effect in Notifications.
