Send a test email before you send
In the editor's Review step, send a test copy of the issue to yourself before it reaches subscribers. Each issue can be tested to up to 5 different addresses, and every test counts toward your monthly email allowance.
A test email is a copy of the issue that goes only to the addresses you type, so you can see it in a real inbox before the real send. No subscriber gets it.
How to send one
- 1. Open the issue in the editor and go to the “Review” step.
- 2. Under “Send Test Email”, type one or more addresses in “Email Address(es)”, separated by commas.
- 3. Optionally, write what to check in “Test Notes (Optional)”. The note appears at the top of the test copy.
- 4. Press “Send Test”.
The test's subject starts with [TEST] so it's easy to spot in your inbox.
Limits
- Up to 5 different addresses per issue. You can test to those same addresses again as often as you like.
- 20 test sends an hour per workspace.
- Every test counts toward your monthly email allowance, like any other email.
Common questions
Do subscribers get the test?
No. Only the addresses you typed in the test field get it.
Why can't I test to a new address?
The issue has already been tested to 5 different addresses. Use one of those 5.
Do tests use my allowance?
Yes. Each test counts toward your monthly email allowance, which resets on the 1st of the month.
