3. Test Lists

Test Lists in UI1

Test lists are used to test emailings before sending them to the full recipient list.

To create a test list, go to Lists and Contacts → Target groups → Tests Lists and click create test list (fig. 1).

Add a description and choose the contact filter (fig. 2).

If no contact filter exists yet, create one by clicking the green plus icon (fig 3).

Add the description of the contact filter and click Add new filter (fig. 4).

Contact Filter Setup

In the criterion editor (fig. 5):

• Starting number: 0
• Set operation: add contacts
• Basis of Selection: contact field value
• Criterion: email address

Note: If only one emailing address is needed, use the condition is equal to and add that address (fig. 6). Click Save filter condition.

For a more realistic test, use the condition in the list and add 2 to 3 emailing addresses (fig. 7). Click Save filter condition.

Note: These emailing addresses must be created as individual contacts in the system before they can be used in the test list.

Click Save contact filter (fig. 8).

Add the new contact filter to your test list and click create test list (fig. 9).

The test list is now complete (fig. 10).

In Mailings → Trigger Drafts, open the emailing to be sent to the test list and click Checks & Tests tab (fig. 11). At the bottom of the column, locate the Test mailing option and click the perform icon (a triangle enclosed by a circle) at the end of the row.

Select the test list to which you want to send the test emailing (only one list is available in this example), then click Start delivery test (fig. 12).

The system highlights the completed test and the dispatch date in green (fig. 13).

Click the succesfully finished link to view detailed statistics and access the resend option (fig. 14).
