How to preview and test your email campaign

Note: If you're a Classic user, please log in to your account to access the dedicated Classic Help Center.

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

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

  2. 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.

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

Why some features do not work in test emails

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, the following features are not functional in test emails:

  • Unsubscribe link

  • Forward links (including those in Social blocks)

  • Survey blocks - the design of a survey can be viewed in a test email, but no submissions will be recorded.

  • Event blocks

  • Dynamic content blocks

If you wish to test these functions before sending your campaign out to subscribers, simply duplicate your draft campaign and send it to yourself as a regular campaign instead of a test email.
