## SUMMARY

# How to Send Test Emails While Editing Your Campaign

In this tutorial, we will walk through the process of sending test emails while editing your campaign. Whether you are using a drag and drop editor, AI editor, or plain text editor, the process remains the same.

## Steps to Send Test Emails

1. While editing your campaign content, locate the option to send test emails.
2. Enter the recipient's email address to whom you want to send the test email.
3. Click on the "Send" button.
4. Check your inbox to see how the email appears. This includes the subject line and the content layout.

## Using Custom Fields in Test Emails

If your campaign includes custom fields, note that they will not be populated in a standard test email. However, you can test these fields by following these steps:

1. While sending out test emails, select the option to use custom fields of a specific contact.
2. Select the contact whose custom fields you want to populate in the test email.
3. Click "Send" to dispatch the test email with populated data.
4. Verify the populated data by checking the contact's profile section, where you can see the custom fields used in your email.

## Additional Options

Regardless of the state of your campaign (draft or otherwise), you can always send a test email to see how it appears in your inbox. This feature is accessible from the campaign's information section.

That's it! You now know how to send test emails and verify their content and custom fields effectively.
