Test Sends

Save a template, type an address, and Send Test delivers it through the real pipeline with a [TEST] subject prefix — the same rendering, tracking and suppression checks a customer send gets.

Test Before You Ship

One-click test send
From the editor, to any address, once the template is saved
Real pipeline
The test goes out through your configured provider like any other send, so what lands is what customers get
Broadcast tests
A broadcast can be test-sent to one address before it goes to an audience
Test-mode API keys
Sends made with a pf_test_ key are flagged test mode and never fire your webhooks
Test Workflow
1.Save the template
Send Test needs a saved template
2.Open Send Test and enter an address
Any inbox you can read
3.Check the inbox
The subject starts with [TEST] so it is easy to find
4.Adjust and send again
Edit, save, and send another test until it is right
Questions

Common questions, straight answers.

How do I send a test?

Save the template, click Send Test in the editor, enter an address, and send. The subject is prefixed with [TEST] so it is easy to spot in your inbox.

Does a test send use my real provider?

Yes. It goes through the same send pipeline and provider as a customer email, which is the point — you see exactly what will land.

Will a test send trigger my webhooks?

A Send Test from the editor is a real send and behaves like one. Sends made with a test-mode API key are flagged test mode and skip webhook dispatch.

Can I test a broadcast before it goes out?

Yes. Broadcasts have their own test send to a single address, so you can check the rendering before scheduling the audience send.
