Ability to quickly view what individual emails look like to multiple people

0 Votes

Right now you can only see what an email will look like for one of your contacts that has to be manually copy/pasted.  We need the ability to quickly click through a given list to double-check what our emails look like for each contact just to make sure all names and any custom fields come out correctly.  A "next/previous" button would be great so we can quickly click through a list of 100 or so people in a minute or two.

Hey @ChrisR6150, thanks for posting this idea! I wanted to see if I could get some information from you - If you were to use a list to check these contacts, how would this list be created? Would you have a file to upload or are you wanting to use a list that's already imported in your account?

Hi, I was thinking this would apply to a list that is already in your account.  Here's a hypothetical example - let's say I was returning capital to a group of investors that were already in a list.  I would want each email to say the person's name, and then likely create a custom field that showed the specific amount of money they were receiving.  This information is too important to go on faith alone that it will all work, so I'd like to have some kind of "Next/Previous" button so I could quickly scroll through each individual email and see that the name and the dollar amounts come out as I'd hoped.  Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks for the additional information @ChrisR6150! I've opened this idea up for voting so we can get additional feedback from our users and they'll also be able to vote for this idea.

At this time, we do not have plans to include this type of functionality in the editor. A preview can be done for single contacts, not as a group or list, and each address will need to be entered individually.
