Add Test Recipient to a Group

Goal​

To designate members of a group as test recipients.

You have two options:

• Add a New Group Member as a Test Recipient​

• Designate an Existing Group Member as a Test Recipient​

Background Information​

A test recipient receives previews of the messages in that group for testing purposes only. Test recipients can review the quality and display of a message before the final message sendout takes place.

You send a test message in the final step of the email sendout configuration. For more information, see ​Configuration for Sendout​.
