Test Mode

Test mode print jobs are not charged for and are not actually sent out. Setting the testmode parameter to true creates a print job in test mode. Test mode print jobs do not appear in the Intelliprint Dashboard by default. You will have to switch to test mode with the top right mode selector to be able to list test mode print jobs. Similarly, to list test mode print jobs with the API, you will have to set the testmode parameter to true.

​
Submitting a Print Job

Print jobs can be submitted at the time of creation or up to 30 days later. This is done by setting the confirmed parameter to true. When you want to submit a print job depends on your use case:
  • Automated workflows generally submit print jobs at the time of creation.
  • Manual workflows generally create a print job, make several changes as updates, and then submit it once satisfied with the preview.

​
Submitting at the Time of Creation

import Intelliprint from 'intelliprint'

const ip = new Intelliprint('your-api-key-here')

const printJob = await ip.prints.create({
  type: 'letter',
  content: 'Hello World!\nThis is a letter!',
  recipients: [{
    address: {
      name: 'John Doe',
      line: '123 Main Street, Anytown, Anyplace',
      postcode: 'AB1 2CD',
      country: 'GB'
    }
  }],
  confirmed: true, 
  testmode: true, // Set to false to actually send the print job. Your account will be charged.
})

​
Submitting as an Update to a Print Job

import Intelliprint from 'intelliprint'

const ip = new Intelliprint('your-api-key-here')

const printJob = await ip.prints.update('print-job-id', {
  confirmed: true, 
})
