Adding a Seed List To An Email Delivery in ACS

[#1]

With Adobe Campaign Classic we had the ability to add a seed list in the email delivery so that all individuals within that list would receive a copy of the email to their inboxes. Where in Adobe Campaign Standard does this same functionality exist? We need our client to be able to receive the email as a seed at the time the delivery deploys to the target audience.

Hi @michelek4711021,

You have test profiles in ACS to use as seed and when you create the delivery you have option to add this test profiles. Also you can extend the test profile fields incase if you want to.

Have a look at this documentation,

Thanks!

Would this be adding a test profile as a "trap"? I want the test profile to receive the email at the same time the target audience does (in the same execution).

Yes, you will be receiving it same time as the target audience receives.

Thanks. Quick question - any reason why the terminology for seeds changed between Adobe Campaign Classic and Adobe Campaign Standard? I've gone through both training paths for Business Practitioner and notice terminology is not synched (this is just one example) between the two versions.

You are correct. There are certain things they changed terminology like schemas as custom resources etc. But their core system tables referred in the same way as classic. I think this is just part of their terminology standardization like they do on other solutions of Adobe experience cloud.

You have to define a test profileprofile of type trap for that. If it's multiple users, you can create an audience of test users.
