We are going to construct several scheduled templates, and just wondered if there was a 'best way' to test these before fully putting them into production.

Thank you!

There's not a "send test email" button right now, but you can do it like this:
- Disable the email template (so it won't automatically go out)
- Create a test booking with your email address
- Go to the email tab of the booking
- Add the scheduled email for the template you added (you can still manually add disabled email templates here)
- Click the "Send Now" button for that email to send a test -- you can do this over and over

You can also see a generic preview of the email as you're editing it by clicking the "Preview" button in the bottom right.

Thank you! We'll give this a try.
