Send a test email

Send a test on the Content step sends the campaign’s last saved content, filled in with sample data, to one address you control: either a confirmed member of your account, or any address at one of your verified sending domains.

1. Save your changes first. A test uses the last saved version of the campaign, not whatever’s still unsaved in the editor.
2. Select Send a test in the top bar.
3. Enter the Recipient address and select Send test email.

The subject line arrives with [TEST] in front, and the body uses sample data (a placeholder name, and sample values for any custom fields) in place of a real contact.

Who you can send a test to

• An address that has opted out or bounced won’t work. EmailFig refuses it with “That address has opted out or bounced, so we can’t send to it — even as a test.” Suppression is platform-wide, so it applies to tests too.
• The address has to be one you can prove you control. If it isn’t a confirmed account member or an address at one of your verified domains, EmailFig refuses it with “Test sends can only go to a confirmed account member, or to any address at one of your verified sending domains.”
• There’s no limit on tests. Send as many as you like.
