Test Email - Error Troubleshooting

When testing a campaign email, you may receive a popup notification with an error message that states, "An error occurred. Please try again." The message will look like this:

Check the following to ensure your email test can send:

1. Ensure the custom values being used are valid. Be sure that custom values have proper brackets {{ }} (not just 1 {} or more than 2 {{{}}}). For example, {{contact.name}} or {{contact.city}}.
2. Check the email address to ensure it follows the proper format, such as test@emaildemo.com
