Overview

Use the Preview window to check the syntax and behavior of a personalization rule before you use it in a message. The rule is validated as soon as the preview opens. You can then test how the rule resolves for a specific address, review the output, and edit the source code.


  1. Navigate to Audience > Segmentation > Personalization.

  2. Create or edit a personalization rule in the Personalization Builder.

  3. Click Preview. The preview opens in a new window.

Preview of user personalisation settings with source code for conditional display.

Description

User

Specifies the email address of the contact used to test the rule. To check every branch of the rule, test with several contacts whose attribute values match the different conditions. A fictional email address has no stored values, so it shows the fallback content.

Preview

Shows how the personalization appears for the selected address. The preview is only available when all InsertIf blocks contain content.

Source Code

Shows the full personalization rule. Errors appear in red. You can edit the code directly.

Analysis for Address

Evaluates the rule for the selected address, including the attribute values. Lines with expression="true" show which parts of the rule were applied.
