Before sending an email to your audience, you can send a test to preview how it will look in real inboxes. Test emails let you catch formatting issues, check merge tags, and get feedback from your team. *** ## Sending a Test Email Send Test Email modal with recipients, note, and merge tag options You can send a test email from two places: * Click **Send Test** in the email editor toolbar * Click **Send Test** on the email detail page This opens the test email modal where you can configure your test. *** ## Adding Recipients Enter up to **5 email addresses** separated by commas in the recipients field. To quickly add team members, click **+ Flowforth Users** to browse and select members from your organization. This is useful when you want feedback from specific people without needing to remember their email addresses. *** ## Adding a Note Click **Add a note** to include a message at the top of the test email. Notes are helpful for: * Asking reviewers to check a specific section * Providing context about what changed since the last test * Requesting feedback on wording or design choices The note appears as a banner at the top of the email and is only visible in the test, not in the final send. *** ## Merge Tag Preview If your email contains merge tags, you can toggle **Replace merge tags with sample data** to see how they will render with real data instead of showing raw tag names like `{{first_name}}`. This is useful for checking that your personalization looks natural and that tags are placed correctly. *** ## Good to Know * **Test emails do not count** against your monthly send limit * Test emails are sent immediately, regardless of any scheduled send time * The email subject will be prefixed with **\[TEST]** so you can easily identify it in your inbox * Email appearance may vary slightly across email clients (Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, etc.), so consider testing with recipients who use different clients
