Testing the Products Block

After configuring the Products block, you can preview how the recommendations appear in the email on desktop and mobile devices.

You can test the block for an individual contact or a segment of contacts:

  • If you are going to use the product block in a promo campaign, select a list of recipient contacts.

  • If you are going to use the product block in a trigger campaign, select the dynamic segment on which the workflow with this email will be launched.

Consider an example of testing the Products block for Abandoned view workflow. 

How to find out which segment is used in the workflow

  1. Go to AutomationWorkflows, select the Abandoned view workflow, and go to the Start/Stop configuration.
