Adding Test Recipient to a Group

Goal

Designate members of a group as test recipients so they can receive message previews for testing before a final sendout.

Background Information

A test recipient receives previews of messages that are sent to a group for testing purposes only. This allows you to review message content, layout, and personalization before the final sendout.

Test messages are sent during the final step of the email sendout configuration. For more information, see Configuration for Sendout​.
