**Before** sending emails or messages to your contact list, it is highly recommended to perform **sending tests**. This allows you to check formatting, links and content to ensure everything is working as expected.

The tests are sent to an email address or WhatsApp *of your choice* so you can see how the emails will be received by recipients.
