Send yourself a test of a campaign, and duplicate campaigns

What’s New

Send Test

On a draft campaign’s page, Send Test emails one copy of the campaign to your own email address so you can check it in a real inbox before sending it to your audience.

  • The subject starts with [Test] so it is easy to spot.
  • Merge fields such as the first name are filled in with a contact from the campaign’s audience, so you see roughly what a recipient will see.
  • The test goes through the same email account the campaign will send from.
  • A test does not appear in the campaign’s recipients or stats, and opens and clicks on it are not tracked. If your team sends through Sure Send’s email service, each test uses one Email Credit, like any other email.
  • The unsubscribe link in a test is a sample. It does not unsubscribe anyone.

The test is sent in the background and usually arrives within a minute or two. You can send up to five tests a minute.

Duplicate

Duplicate is on every campaign’s page and in the campaign list. It creates a new draft named “<campaign name> (Copy)” with the same content, design, sender details and audience, and opens it in the editor. Sending history, stats and schedule are not copied, so the copy starts fresh.
