6.3 Quicktest

After you have viewed the preview, it is possible to perform a Quicktest. The difference with testing send profiles is that you are now unable to test the variables in your e-mail. You can send a quicktest as following:


  1. Click on the ‘Quicktest’ button at the top of your screen. Click on the button so that you can configure the settings for the test.
  2. Enter a name for the test e-mail.
  3. Enter a date and time to send the test.
    For Quickmail type you can choose between a Quickmail or a Smart Run or Split Run.
  4. Then select whether you would like to apply the test with fictitious test data or use an actual profile or group.
  5. Select your e-mail.
    You cannot change the e-mail target; this will always be set to ‘Test e-mail’.
  6. Then choose whether you want to test the text or HTML version, or both.
  7. Enter the e-mail addresses for your test e-mail, along with the number of e-mails. Click 'Next'.
  8. Check your data and click on ‘Confirm’ to send your test e-mail.


If the quick test is sent without a customer, then various functions will not work, including the ‘View online’ link.

The reason for this is that in this mode, the email is sent without customer data. Within the 'Preview' tab of the Email Designer, you can test your email to see how it will be displayed when sent by pressing enter in the search bar. The email will then show personalized content as it will be sent.

Note: This is not always the case. If there is an error in the email, a syntax error will also be displayed in the 'preview' mode.
