Mailing testing

Description

Sometimes you need to test your mailings before activation due to several reasons. This way, you can be sure that:

• content will be properly displayed in different mail clients;
• the technical part of sending and delivering the message is all right;
• all substitutions and complex logic inside the template work correctly;
• email and SMS providers do not block messages because of the content.

Using mailing testing, you can send letters for verification to the person responsible for your mailings or use services that evaluate the quality of messages, delivery infrastructure, etc.

Choose a mailing of a certain type and click the test icon   :
