Send a test email before going live

See it in your inbox first

Customizing email copy is great, but a preview in your live mail client beats reading raw Markdown. AppGram can send you a sample of any user-facing email with your current configuration applied.

What gets sent

  • The exact template and styling subscribers receive.
  • Your customized subject, intro, CTA label, and footer.
  • Your redirect URL on the CTA button (if configured).
  • Sample data (a placeholder release title, ticket subject, etc.) so the email renders fully.
  • [TEST] prefix on the subject so you can tell it apart from real notifications.

How to send a test

  1. Open Settings → Email customization.
  2. Click "Send test email" next to the email type you want to preview.
  3. Check the inbox of your AppGram account email.
  4. If something looks off, tweak the copy and send another test.

What it doesn't do

  • Test emails go only to your account email — you can't send them to a third party.
  • They're rate-limited (20/hour) to prevent abuse.
  • They use the single-recipient transactional client, so they won't appear in bulk-email metrics.

When to use it

Always send at least one test after you save changes to:

  • Confirm placeholder substitution looks right.
  • Verify your deep-link URL opens the correct screen.
  • Check that Markdown rendered as you expected.
