The Test Email feature in the email builder allows you to preview your template before saving it. This feature works similarly to the "Test Template" option in the Template Management Screen, helping you verify the design and content of your email.
Steps to Send a Test Email:
Access the Template Builder:
Go to the template builder screen.
Create Your Template:
Design your email template as needed, including all product blocks, text, and styling.
Send a Test Email:
Click on the Test on email button to initiate sending a preview of the email.
Enter the email addresses to which you want the test email to be sent.
Review the Email:
Check the email received in your inbox.
Make any necessary modifications to the template based on the preview.
Variables in the template will appear as placeholders if there is no customer data available.
Dynamic product feeds (e.g., Best Selling, Abandoned Cart) will not populate in the test email; they will be shown as empty or placeholders.
This feature is helpful for ensuring your email looks correct before finalising and sending it to your audience.
