Next conceptA/B test mechanics for list emails

Explainer

Before a list email goes out, Account Engagement gives you several ways to check it: test sends to a test list or to individual email addresses, previewing it as a specific prospect, inbox previews across email clients, and A/B testing on part of your audience. Testing catches broken links, personalization that doesn't fill in, typos, and layout problems before real prospects see them.
Core information
  • A good pre-send check covers four things: every link works, variable tags and dynamic content populate, the copy has no typos or errors, and the design renders well across email clients and screen sizes. Salesforce recommends testing templates multiple times and sending to various stakeholders.
More details and nuances
  • Test emails contain a working unsubscribe link. Clicking it shows the same confirmation a prospect would see, but nothing changes in Account Engagement, and completion actions don't run for test emails.
