Check mailing preview and send test mail

Check mailing preview

In the "Preview" tab, you can check whether your mailing actually looks the way you imagined during the editing process.

Here you can see your resolved modules. You can test your links and display recipient attributes based on your test profiles from XPRO.
You can also send a test email: This allows you to view and check your mailing in real email clients. This is highly useful if you want to check how personalized data will be displayed.

Sending a Test Mailing

Send a test mail to yourself to view and check your mailing in real email clients. This is highly useful if you want to check how personalized data will be displayed.

Step by step

Sync your mailing.
Open your mailing in the "Preview" tab.
Select a test profile in the "Check preview" window.

The preview of your mailing adapts dynamically.

Note: The test profiles for your test dispatch are obtained from the Inxmail Professional list you used to sync your mailing.
You have two options for test dispatch:
- Use a test distribution list from XPRO.
- Or enter one or more email addresses to send the test email to. You can enter up to 25 email addresses separated by commas.
Optionally, you can put a prefix in front of your mailing subject, e.g. "Testmail". This way you make sure that your test recipients are aware that the mailing has not yet gone out in live dispatch.
Click Start test dispatch.
Launch your email client (e.g., Outlook) or open your online email account (at gmail.com, for example) to view the results.

You have sent a test email.

Did you spot any errors?

Then edit your mailing or container configuration to resolve the issue.
Tip: Errors in the resolution of personalized data can be attributable to your personalized information in Inxmail New Xperience, or they may occur due to the fact that certain column values are missing in your test profile in XPRO.
