Want to see what your newsletter looks like before you send it out to all your subscribers? You can! With a Test email, you can send a preview to yourself (or a colleague) to review the layout and content of your newsletter.

Once you have created your campaign and selected it's recipients, you will be brought to the Send or schedule page.

Send a test email to preview your campaign’s layout by clicking Send a test.

You can also send a test email from within your campaign editor by clicking the Preview and test button in the top right corner and selecting Send a test email.

Enter the email address that you wish to send the test email to. Click Send test.

Your test email will appear in your inbox with the label [TEST] included in the subject line. Keep in mind, your subscribers will not see the [TEST] label when the real campaign is sent.

Note: If you have already sent yourself a test email, and then you send yourself a regular campaign; the regular campaign may land in the same thread as the test email in your inbox. This may cause it to appear as though your regular campaign sent with the [TEST] label in the subject line when it did not.

Open your workflow editor and click the email step you’d like to test. Then, in the sidebar, click Send a test email.

To test the entire automation workflow:

Enter the email address to send the test emails to, and click Send test.

Test emails are for previewing the layout and content of your campaigns. This means that test emails don’t have the full functionality of a regular campaign.

For this reason, neither the Unsubscribe nor the Forward links will work in a test email.

You will also find that Survey blocks don’t function in test emails. Surveys are only functional in the final sent version of the campaign. If you wish to test a survey, simply duplicate your draft campaign and send it to yourself as a regular campaign instead of a test email.

It’s not uncommon for test emails to land in your spam folder. This is due to the additional [TEST] label in the subject line.

To properly test the deliverability of your email, we recommend that you duplicate your draft campaign and send it to yourself as a regular campaign.

Note: If you have already sent yourself a test email, and then you send yourself a regular campaign; the regular campaign may land in the same thread as the test email in your inbox. This may cause it to appear as though your regular campaign sent with the [TEST] label in the subject line when it did not.

We also recommend that all users authenticate their domain to maximize deliverability.
