Sending a Test Email to yourself

Before sending your email to customers, it’s always a good idea to preview how it looks in your inbox. With Send, you can quickly send a test copy of your template to your own email address. This helps you check the design, layout, and overall feel of your message without sending it to your audience first.

Why send a Test Email?

Sending a test email lets you:

  • Check for errors: Spot typos, broken links, or formatting issues before customers see them.
  • Preview the design: Make sure images, fonts, and layout look the way you want across devices.
  • Validate personalization: Confirm that dynamic fields (like names or product details) display correctly.

This can save you time and ensure your emails look professional.

Sending a Test Email

  1. In the WP Admin, go to Send > Email Templates.
  2. Open the My Designs tab and select the template you’d like to preview. 
  3. Click Edit Template.
