Test Email Error Troubleshooting
If your test email fails with a popup error, it’s usually a formatting issue. Here’s how to fix custom values and validate the test email address so your campaign tests send successfully.
Fixing Test Email Errors Before Sending Live Campaigns
You may try to send a test email and run into an error, even though your campaign looks correct.
Most test email failures come from small formatting issues, especially with custom values or invalid email inputs.
Without catching these early, the same issues can affect your live campaigns.
This guide will show you how to troubleshoot test email errors so you can fix problems quickly and send with confidence.
Once you understand the common causes, follow the steps below to correct formatting issues, validate inputs, and successfully test your emails inside your BizStackPro account.
Common Test Email Error
When you click Send Test (or similar) inside an email campaign/template, you might see a popup like:
“An error occurred, please try again.”
Good news: This is usually fixable in a couple minutes—most often it’s a custom value bracket issue.
How to Fix Test Email Errors
-
Check custom values: Custom values must use double curly brackets.
✅ Correct:
{{contact.name}}|{{contact.city}}❌ Avoid:{contact.name}|{{{contact.name}}} -
Validate the test email address: Confirm it’s a normal, valid format (example:
[email protected]). - Try again after edits: Save your email changes, then send the test email again.
Follow along: If you copied text from another tool/editor, quickly scan for “smart braces” or any odd formatting around custom values—then resend the test.
Quick Checklist Before You Send
- All custom values use {{double curly brackets}}
- No extra braces like {{{triple}}}
- Test email address is valid
- Email is saved before sending the test
