It would be helpful to be able to send a 'test' e-mail from the communication triggers template engine, to ensure that everything is formatted correctly, and test in a range of devices. A simple 'send test preview' button that actioned an e-mail to a defined address, perhaps with lorem ipsum in place of variables, would be so useful.

  This post received lots of votes so we've now implemented it. This will be in Monday's release. Thanks everyone for the feedback!

  Requested this feature myself - absurd that it doesn't already exist.

  yes please, currently setup a test event every time I need to check an email - very frustrating.

  This is an important feature which is missing.  As per Tom above, workarounds are clunky and time-consuming.   Hoping the test email feature is added very soon.

  I agree.  It's particularly difficult for Private/Client courses where only students from that Client/Account can be registered.  A test email function also allows you to check that any DMS documents are attaching correctly.

  Still hoping for this wish to be granted...

  Me too! Quite a few votes for this too? Anyone from Administrate picking up on this? Thanks

  This is a highly requested feature, we are looking at ways to free up some resources from the published roadmap to take a look at this.
