Transactional emails are some of the most important emails a company sends\u201464% of consumers consider transaction confirmations the most valuable messages<\/a> in their inbox.<\/p>\n

Despite their value, these emails aren\u2019t paid the same attention as commercial marketing messages. In fact, transactional emails are usually controlled by IT or development teams, rather than marketing teams. These departments typically lack the tools marketers use to optimize their messages and ensure they are performing well and providing users with a positive experience.<\/p>\n

In addition, transactional emails have a reputation for being \u201cset it and forget it<\/a>\u201d programs, where they are tested once, placed into production, and forgotten about. However, these emails need to be tested frequently<\/a> to catch errors that might go unnoticed and impact performance. Updates to email applications may mean that support for HTML and CSS changes without notice, branding changes may lead to outdated graphics, and broken links and images are all too common.<\/p>\n

A SOLUTION FOR TRANSACTIONAL EMAIL TESTING<\/h2>\n

Sendwithus has solved the problem of testing emails and catching these errors. Starting today, paying Sendwithus users can test their emails instantly using Litmus technology. Through an integration with Litmus’ Instant Previews API<\/a>, developers and IT teams can now instantly preview their transactional messages in 50+ email clients and apps on a regular basis, enabling them to quickly spot necessary changes and ensure their emails are optimized for performance.<\/p>\n

The integration leverages Litmus\u2019 Instant Previews API\u2014one of the only email preview integrations available in the marketplace that delivers screenshots in seconds (rather than minutes), giving customers instant feedback about their emails. The Instant API works alongside the Advanced Editor in Sendwithus, providing users with an iterative workflow for building and testing their transactional messages.<\/p>\n

Matt Harris, CEO and Co-founder of Sendwithus, said:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe started Sendwithus to make transactional email easy for marketers, designers, and developers. Integrating the Litmus Instant API gives our users full control of their customer experience: an instant preview while editing, and a view of the email exactly as it appeared on the device the customer used.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This integration was initially released to a small set of beta users\u2014and the feedback was amazing. Fabio Fleitas, Sendwithus user and Co-founder of Tesorio, stated, \u201cDesigning and coding emails that work across all email clients (especially Outlook) is not easy. Being able to code and render previews from several email clients at once makes it MUCH easier.\u201d<\/p>\n

With today\u2019s launch, now all Sendwithus users will be able to spend less time building and troubleshooting email, and more time creating better subscriber experiences.<\/p>\n

A LOOK AT THE INTEGRATION<\/h2>\n

Litmus Instant Previews are now available in all paying Sendwithus accounts. Using the integration is simple: after choosing a template, users can click \u201cedit\u201d and navigate to the \u201cDevice Tests\u201d tab to access Instant Previews.<\/p>\n

From there, you\u2019ll be able to select which devices you\u2019d like to test for your campaign.<\/p>\n
