Before sending a transactional message, it's generally a best practice to test it so you can verify things like an attached PDF document and/or personalization codes.
- Navigate to Messages > Transactional > List.
- Hover over the menu icon for the message and select View and Test.
- The resulting page displays the data for all recipients in the transactional message file, along with their associated information fields. In the list, hover over the Menu icon for a recipient and select View on Screen.
- The recipient's information displays on the resulting page. Select a Format (HTML or Text) and a Test Method option (View on Screen, Email It, or Spam Filter Test) and click Submit.
You'll see the mailing as the recipient would and, if available, have the option to view the transactional document as a PDF (see below).
Next Steps
Now that you've created and tested a transactional mailing, check out how to send it. You can also review opens, clicks, and forwards statistics in the mailing's report.
