Simulator panel: testing without going live
The Simulator Panel sends fake events to IndoFinity (gifts, comments, likes, follows, donations), so you can test all your settings without waiting for real viewers.
Why this matters
Without the simulator, the only way to test an alert is to actually go live and hope someone sends a gift. That means you're adjusting overlays in front of your viewers, and every mistake shows.
With the simulator, you can sort everything out before the live starts.
Six tabs
| Tab | What it does |
|---|---|
| Quick | Like, follow, subscribe, and share in one click, with nothing to fill in |
| Total Likes | Sets a total like count to test milestones and goal overlays |
| Comment | Sends a test comment with the text and sender role you choose |
| Gift | Picks a gift and a combo count |
| Donation | Picks a donation platform and an amount |
| Emote | Sends a TikTok sticker or emote |
The Comment tab and Sender Role
The Comment tab has a Sender Role option that is useful but easy to miss. It lets you pretend to be a viewer with a different status:
| Role | What it tests |
|---|---|
| Not Following | A regular viewer |
| Follower / Friend | Activities restricted to followers |
| Subscriber | Subscriber-only features |
| Moderator | Moderator-only commands |
| Team Member | Minimum team level limits |
If you create an Activity that only Subscribers can trigger, you can't test it yourself on a live, because you aren't a subscriber of your own account, and asking someone else to help is a hassle.
Sender Role solves that completely.
The Gift tab and combos
Pick a gift, then fill in Combo Count, which is how many times the gift is sent in a row. The range is 1 to 10,000.
The Repeat as many times as the gift combo setting on an Interaction behaves very differently depending on whether it's ticked. Send a 5× combo through the simulator and you'll see the difference right away: the alert either runs five times, or once after the combo ends.
Which variables get filled
Each tab fills different message variables:
| Tab | Fills |
|---|---|
| Gift | {giftname}, {coins}, {repeatcount} |
| Comment | {comment} |
| Donation | {message}, {amount} |
| Total Likes | {totallikecount} |
So if you want to check how an alert's text is formatted, use the tab that matches its trigger. See Message Variables.
Limits
This is intentional and can't be changed. If the simulator could add vouch points, that reputation number would mean nothing. See Vouch Points.
The simulator also tests processing and display, not the incoming connection. To make sure a donation webhook is really connected, check the Incoming Support tab in Donation Integration, not the simulator.
