Preview in editor

---

Use the Preview option to check your email design without extra elements, such as display conditions or repeat blocks. Preview helps you test personalization and send test messages before launching your campaign.

Test placeholders

If your email contains placeholders, such as {$firstName}, you can use the Preview option to see how they appear when populated.

To test placeholders:

1. Go to the Test placeholders tab.
2. Review the list of all placeholders included in your email.
3. Enter sample values, such as a name or surname.
4. The preview refreshes automatically to show how these values appear in the final message.

This process helps you verify that personalization attributes display correctly.

Send a test message

You can use Preview to send a test message before setting up the full communication.

To send a test message:

1. Go to the Send a test message tab.
2. Enter a recipient email address.
3. Select Send Test Message.

The email is delivered with the subject line test.

The sender address is taken from the address specified in the message. If no sender is set, the system uses the first registered domain on your account. If your account does not have any registered domains, the system uses the single verified sender.

You can send a test message from any location where you create an email message, including Flow, Broadcast, and email templates.
