Test Your Advanced Email Templates

Last updated April 2, 2026

Ensure your Advanced Email Workflow is working

Testing is critical to ensure your automations run reliably and your customers have a professional experience.

Pre-Activation Checklist

  1. Test the Trigger: Create a test booking or simulate the trigger event to ensure the workflow starts correctly.
  2. Verify Logic: Test scenarios where the Condition is both True and False to ensure the workflow branches correctly.
  3. Validate Timing: Check that Wait steps and Schedule steps execute at the precise, desired time.
  4. Confirm Templates: Ensure all linked email templates are Active and have been tested separately for display and mobile responsiveness.

Strategic Best Practices

  • Keep it Focused: Design automations with one clear purpose (e.g., Cart Recovery, Post-Game Engagement). This makes monitoring and debugging easier.
  • Respect Timing: Use Wait steps to space out messages appropriately. Do not email customers too frequently, which can lead to fatigue and unsubscribes.
  • Prevent Duplicates: Always use a Condition step (like checking Payment Status or Booking Status) before a Send Email step to prevent sending unnecessary messages.
