How to Test Email Notifications

Testing your email notifications before sharing your RSVP event allows you to ensure that the confirmation and reminder messages sent to your attendees have your desired look and feel and information that you wish to communicate with your audience.

To test your emails, you can:

Select the RSVP forms tab on the left-side navigation menu.
Click the custom RSVP form.
Select the Email notifications tab.
Click the email notification that you wish to test in order to expand the options.
Click the Test email option.
Enter your email address and click the Send button.

What to Expect with your Test Emails

When receiving your test email, mock data will be used within the email. Here's what to expect:

The sender email address will be events@addevent.com and the sender name will be "AddEvent". This still applies if you have set up an RSVP email sender name and email address following the steps here.
The event's name in the test email will be "Title of the event (DEMO)".
A mock example date/time, location, and organizer for the mock event will be included.
The event link is only an example URL and should not be shared.

If testing your emails in Outlook.com results in black text being displayed in a lighter color, please consider using a different text color. Without having to change the text color, configuring the Appearance setting to "Dark mode" in your Outlook.com account also can sometimes help the text display more legibly.
