To send a test email, there are two methods available:

A) Through a Campaign

Step 1: Go to Email marketing > Campaign





Step 2: Click on the Create button to create a campaign or click on the campaign from the Campaign name.





NotesNote: Make sure that your DKIM & DMARC are already configured. To configure DKIM & DMARC, visit - Send Email From Business Email Using DKIM


Step 3: Go to Email settings. Complete the necessary fields and then click on "Send a Test Message."

Campaign Name: Enter a unique name for your campaign. Used for internal identification only.

Subject: The email subject line that recipients will see in their inbox. A compelling subject line improves open rates. Avoid excessive promotional words to reduce spam filtering.

Shortcode: Allows you to insert dynamic content into your email. Shortcodes automatically replace placeholders with customer-specific data (e.g., name, email). Optional but recommended for personalization.

Include Audience: Select who should receive the campaign:

  • Choose list – Send the campaign to a saved customer list

  • Choose segment – Send the campaign to customers matching specific conditions

You may select both a list and a segment.

Exclude Audience (Optional): Exclude specific lists or segments from the campaign. Useful when you want to avoid sending emails to certain customer groups.
Fetch Audience: Fetches and calculates the final recipient count after applying inclusion and exclusion rules.
Clear: Resets all selected audience settings.
Sender’s Email Address: The email address from which the campaign is sent. Must be a verified sender email. Using a verified business email improves deliverability.
Sender’s Name: The name recipients see as the email sender. Use a recognizable brand or a person's name to build trust.
Reply-To Email: The email address where replies will be delivered. Must be valid and monitored.
When to Send: Choose when the campaign should be delivered:
  1. Send Now: Sends the campaign immediately after confirmation.
  2. Schedule: Schedule the campaign to be sent at a future date and time.
  3. Keep in Draft: Save the campaign without sending it.

Custom UTM Parameters (Optional): Add UTM parameters to track campaign performance in analytics tools like Google Analytics. Helps measure traffic and conversions from email campaigns.

Send a Test Message: Sends a test email to your address. Recommended before sending the campaign live.
