Email Testing

Email testing offers robust, pre-send testing of your emails, including in-app spam testing, inbox rendering previews, and link validation without leaving your workflow. It allows you to preview how an email is likely to perform across a wide range of inbox providers, devices, and spam filters, before sending.

• Inbox Rendering Test: Displays how an email message is rendered and appears across a select group of inbox providers and devices.
• Spam Test: Shows how an email performs against the world’s most powerful consumer (B2C) and enterprise (B2B) spam filters.
• Link Validation Test: Tests all links within a message to ensure they are valid. The test checks for redirects, domain reputation, and critical metadata, like title text. Your inbox rendering tests will automatically include this link validation test. Link validation tests do not deduct from your Email Testing credits.
