What is A/B Testing
A/B testing compares two versions of an email campaign, or an aspect in a scenario to evaluate which performs best. With the different variants shown to your customers, you can determine which version is the most effective with data-backed evidence.
FirstHive offers A/B testing in scenarios (WhatsApp campaigns). A customer is assigned a variant that will be shown to them instantly when reaching an A/B split node in a scenario or matching the conditions for displaying WhatsApp campaign.
