Adding a contact to the 'Test' address book

Adding a contact to the 'Test' address book

You can add a new contact to your 'Test' address book by either:

  • going to Contacts, finding your 'Test' address book and adding them, or
  • adding them during the campaign test send process (read on to find out how)

Information

  • You can't upload a list of contacts to the 'Test' address book; they can only be added individually
  • You can have a maximum of 200 email addresses in your test address book, and you can send a maximum of 200 test sends in an hourly period

Adding new contacts during the test send process

There are several ways you can access the test send process and thus add a new contact:

  • If your campaign is open within Drag & Drop Editor, you can click on Test send, located just above the Drag & Drop Editor toolbar.

    This will open the 'Test send' side panel (see the main image further below).

  • If your campaign is open but you're not within Drag & Drop Editor (in another step of the campaign creation process), then click on the third step of the process, Test, positioned in the top right corner.

    You'll be taken to the 'Test and proof your email' page. From there, click on Choose contacts from under 'Send to your test contacts'.

    Again, the 'Test send' side panel will then open (see the main image further below).

  • If you've closed your campaign, then you can click on the Test send icon from the 'My campaigns' screen to access the 'Test send' side panel.

  • Alternatively, if you're in the campaign 'Summary' screen, you can click on Edit positioned alongside the 'Testing' section. As with clicking on the third 'Test' step of the campaign creation process, this will take you to the page 'Test and proof your email'. From here, click on Choose contacts from under 'Send to your test contacts'.

Whichever method you use, the 'Test send' side panel will open.

Complete the new contact details and click on Create.

The 'Test send' side panel will then update and list the new contact as a confirmed selection for the test send.
