How do I send a test email?

A test email shows you what a campaign email looks like in an inbox, before your customers receive it.

Before you start

• The sending rule needs an email template. No template yet? Add one first.
• If you work in a team account, you need permission to edit campaigns.

How to send a test email

1. Click Email campaigns in the menu on the left.
2. Create a new campaign, or open an existing campaign to edit it.
3. Go to step 3, Sending rules.
4. For the email you want to test (NL or FR), click the pencil icon (Edit). The email editor opens.
5. Fill in a Subject at the top if it is still empty. You can't send a test email without a subject.
6. Click the megaphone icon at the top right (Send test email). Zoloo saves your template first.
7. Check the email address. By default it is the email address of your Zoloo account. Click Send.

You'll see the message Test email sent. In your inbox, the subject starts with [Test].

Good to know

• A test email uses sample data: customer John Doe and a sample product. Real customers see the details of their own order. See The wrong product is showing in my email campaign!
• Want to test the French version? Open the FR email and send a test email from there.
• Test emails don't count towards your campaign statistics.
• No email received? Check your spam or junk folder and make sure you entered the address correctly.
