The content of your Send Test emails should look the same, but a few things will be different:
- Merge fields will not pull actual data (Example: Hi [Contact First Name]). This includes the Company Information in the footer.
- Subject lines will have "Email Test" before it.
- Dynamic Content sections that have been identified to specific tags will not be included.
- Footer address will not pull actual data.
- The email will be sent from a "donotreply" address and may land in your SPAM folder.
Best practices:
- Use the Send Test button while working on your template to see how your design and formatting looks, not to see the final product.
- Add yourself as a contact in your database, then send the email to yourself as if you are a recipient of this email.
Note: If you send a Basic email to yourself only, the company information block in the footer will not populate. You need to send to two or more contacts to view the company information footer.
