Testing feature group msg errors

Hi @Ribblr,
I used the new testing features easily this morning for my spotted egg pattern. But now I’m working on my tiniest bow pattern and I’m having trouble.
I’ve tried sending a group message multiple times but it isn’t showing up in the new testing dashboard, see screenshot. I get a ā€œcommunication errorā€ if I try to send one through the old message group button in manage testing.

I did uninstall and reinstall the app. I’m on a Motorola smartphone running Android.
Please help!

Thank you just let me know if you need any other screenshots or information.

At least one of the messages went through because I received a reply from a tester.

If you can -that would be great!

I just closed the app and reopened and tried to message my tiniest bow testers again through the old way of messaging and got this error message again.

When I tap the ā€œMessage Testersā€ button for the spotted egg pattern, it takes me to the group chat.
However, when I tap the same button for the tiniest egg pattern, it brings up a new message window and doesn’t link to the message(s) I previously sent this morning.

Here is a screenshot of the message to tiniest bow pattern testers that went through and was replied to by a tester. I hope this helps, if you need any more lmk what would be helpful to see.

Here are the screenshot of another group message that did go through and a tester replied to but I still couldn’t access through the testing tools.

Should be fixed! Let us know.

Unfortunately it still isn’t connecting the group message for this pattern. You can see I got a confirmation that the group message was sent, but it doesn’t connect me to the group chat through the new messaging feature afterwards. I did try closing and reopening the app and uninstalling and reinstalling again but that didn’t help. :frowning:

To confirm, it does send the message but does not redirects you there?

Yes that is what seems to be happening. I get a confirmation that the message has been sent. But I can’t see it in the testing area at all. I could only find it in my DMs after someone replied.

Thanks! It’s been escalated. Our engineers are working on this though for now you can go to your messages then ā€˜sent’ to find the message. It is sending like you said but just not redirecting which is likely a fault on our end! Sorry about that :purple_heart:

@Ribblr - I am not sure if I am having the same issue or if this is a different issue.

I tried to send an initial message to my testers from my shop manager testing page. I sent the message and it said that it had sent but then I couldn’t find it anywhere. I waited a while, but whenever I clicked on manage testing, it still said to message testers rather than go to group messages. I tried again from my shop page, and it worked.

For information, it did not work setting up a group message from here…

…but it did from here

It sounds like you weren’t redirected - but you should still find the message under ā€˜sent’ in your messages within your profile!

It was not there. I did check. It worked when I sent it from my shop page though and my shop manager now does redirect me to the group message.

Thank you. We’ll be checking that.

Thank you @Ribblr, I am still having this issue, too. I just tried to send a new group message for the start of my leggy arms and legs pattern and can’t see the group message through the testing management or in my sent messages.
I really want to love these new features but am struggling. On top of the issues with messaging, the new testing page is slow to load, and it’s very hard to navigate to the journals and back to the testing page without having to reload the testing page, making it even slower than it originally was. I hope you’ll be able to work out the kinks!

The fix has been released today - it was an issue with it sometimes not redirecting since you can now send a message from two places.

As for slowness - can you send us a private message to with a video of your screen?
We are not aware of any other issues as of now.
