Send a test email or request feedback from the Editor in Seguno Email Marketing before sending a newsletter to subscribers. Test emails show exactly how the message appears in a subscriber's inbox, while feedback requests allow internal review with notes and a reply-to address.
Sending a test email is a best practice before every campaign or newsletter send.
Set up test email recipients
Before sending a test email, add up to three test recipients in Settings.
To set up test recipients:
In Seguno Email Marketing, click Settings.
In the Sending section, locate Test email recipients.
Enter an email address.
Click Add.
Repeat for up to three email addresses.
Tip:
Send test emails to different inbox providers such as Gmail, iCloud, and Yahoo. Open each test on both desktop and mobile devices to verify formatting and responsiveness.
Note:
If only one person is reviewing the email, create test inboxes across different providers to validate cross-platform deliverability.
Send a test email
A test email sends the newsletter exactly as a subscriber would receive it. The subject line includes the prefix "Test:" to distinguish it from live sends.
There are two ways to send a test email.
Send a test email from the Editor:
Open the newsletter in the Editor.
Click the Actions drop-down.
Select Send test email.
Confirm the banner notification at the bottom of the screen.
Send a test email from the newsletter summary:
Open the newsletter from the main list view.
Confirm the preview image and the sending details appear
Click the Actions drop-down.
Select Send test email.
Confirm the banner notification at the bottom of the screen.
Note:
The confirmation banner verifies that Seguno has sent the test email to the saved test recipients.
Request feedback on an email
Use Request feedback when you need approval, comments, or collaboration before sending. This option allows you to include notes, choose a specific recipient, and define a reply-to email address.
To request feedback:
Open the newsletter in the Editor.
Click the Actions drop-down.
Select Request feedback.
Complete all required fields in the modal:
Recipient email address
Reply-to email address
Internal notes or questions
Click Request feedback.
Confirm the banner notification at the bottom of the screen.
Upon opening the email, the recipients will see your notes highlighted in a yellow banner.
Note:
Request feedback does not send the newsletter to subscribers. It only sends a review version to the specific recipient.
