Testing the Email Treatment
The Test Message tab on the Email Treatment provides an easy way to test the look and feel of the Email Treatment when it is actually delivered.
The following options are available for configuring the test message:
- To – Recipients of the test email. Select either Test Recipients or
Seed List.
- Test Recipients - Enter list of recipients. Each entry can
either be the Operator ID of an existing user in the system or a valid email address. If
the operator ID is entered, operator information such as the name and email is populated
as the customer data and the test email is sent to the operator’s email address.
- Seed List - Select a predefined Seed List as the intended
recipients of the test email. The data for each seed is populated as the customer data
and is visible (if referenced) in the test email. In this case, the Email
1 column in the Seed List (.pyEmail1 property) specifies the email address
to which the test email is sent. Refer to the Seed Lists chapter for information on
configuring a Seed List.
- Test Recipients - Enter list of recipients. Each entry can
either be the Operator ID of an existing user in the system or a valid email address. If
the operator ID is entered, operator information such as the name and email is populated
as the customer data and the test email is sent to the operator’s email address.
