Test the email

Always test your email. Make sure everything looks ok, the personalization and the section constraints are correct. Below a short overview, for a complete explanation check the general topic Testing emails.

NOTE: You can also test your email in a journey.

1. Select 'Test' mode from the top bar and preview your email. Select a test contact from the right side and preview your email. At the bottom you can switch between desktop, tablet and mobile devices. In the top right corner you can change the desktop, tablet and mobile resolutions.

2. Email analysis is based on Email On Acid, third-party software which is integrated in Campaign. Here you can create screenshots of your email in the most common email clients and do a spam analysis. For this example, we will skip this. For more information check Email On Acid integration

3. Under 'Send testmails' select your test contact to send the email to yourself. Hold Ctrl or Shift to select multiple test contacts. 'Include all articles' is only for templates, so we do not need it here. It adds all articles in the email, without taking into account the filters or matching defined on the article container.

4. Click 'Send testmails now' when ready. You should receive the email in your mailbox in a few moments.

NOTE: Although 'Email analysis' generates screenshots of your email in the most common email clients, it is still a good idea to create some test accounts for the most common email clients (Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook webmail, etc.).
