Question

Issues with sending sample emails?

Hi There,
 
Anyone else having problems sending test emails?

When I try to send a sample email from the marketing activities window I get the error message 'JSON decode failed'.
 
If I open the email preview and send a sample from there it seems like it sends but nothing comes through (this is tested to both my business email and a webmail address - nothing is actually sending).
 
The only way I am able to send test emails at the moment is via single flow campaigns but this is really time consuming, especially with dynamic content.
 
Is this just an intermittent issue?

I always build a smart campaign just for testing...this way the emails go out the front door and the tokens and segmentation work. You can attach a seed list to it to make things go fast...Not sure that segmentation would work if you sent a sample as it is determined by fcields in a record...

Also nice to have a record of the Q/A as a local asset in the program...

I'm having a similar issue, but without the error message - I can send from the Preview mode, but none of the other ways to send a sample
