Sending test emails

This article explains how to send a test child template from the visual editor.

To send a test template instance built into a campaign, see:

• Testing mode (for automation campaigns)
• Test broadcast campaigns

See also: Template hierarchy

In the visual editor, navigate to the Preview tab.

Enter any email address and select Send.

Received email:

To send to multiple recipients enter all of the email addresses separated by commas, e.g. louise@ometria.com,frederick@ometria.com,tomasin@ometria.com

Test sends don't use a real contact profile. Some content is only generated when a campaign sends live, so in a test send these show a placeholder:

• View in browser links
• Unsubscribe links
• Preference centre links
• Merge tags, such as basket contents

To check links, send a live campaign to yourself only. To check merge tags against real contact data in an automation campaign, use Testing mode.
