How do I send test e-mails and how do I create a test delivery list?

Before actually dispatching your email we advise you to start a test delivery. The recipients for your test distribution list can be viewed and edited at Settings > Test delivery list.

Create and edit test mailing list

The list shows all recipients in the current client’s test delivery list in addition to the recipients in the test delivery lists of all subordinate clients. Each client’s list can be selected separately for a test dispatch. Add a new recipient for the list by clicking the button “Create test address” on the bottom right.

In the detail view of a recipient, all of his or her data can be entered and edited via the four tabs General, Identity, Address and More. This includes the recipient’s first and last name, gender, postal address and so on. Special fields set up in the current client and used as a variable in the current e-mail can be given content here. When you go back to the list, the recipient can be marked as active or inactive.

When the necessary attributes (e.g. gender, name) for a test address are saved you can personalize the test messages. For example you can address your recipient formally (Dear Mr. Smith, …).

Send test emails

To start a test delivery go to the detail view of your message (in the list of campaign Drafts) and select the action Testmailing. You can either send the mailing to your set up lists, or to single email addresses.

Aktion Testversand

  • To send a mailing to all active recipients of a test delivery list set your checkmark next to the number of the client.
  • In case you want to active additional addresses in the test delivery list click on the plus + to open the list. Check or uncheck the single addresess.
  • With the tabs Default, Enable all and Disable all you can completely reset the activated addresses or enable/disable the entire list.
  • If you want to send a text version of your email to an address, put a check mark next to Send text part separately. Now the address will receive the HTML as well as the text version of a multipart e-mail.
  • If you want to add or only send you test mailing to additional single addresses entert hem separated by a comma in the field. These emails will be unpersonalized due to the lack of user data.

In order to enable the separate dispatch of text versions, the data base must contain the field txt_format. If you are interested in this feature and this is not the case, please contact our support team via the Service Center.
