FIRST CREATED ON 14 Mar 2024  I  AUTHOR Emma Camacho

To ensure email tests are managed properly and avoid sending emails to unintended recipients, use a Global Variable to control test runs. This allows you to easily toggle between test and live modes. Here’s a quick guide on how to set it up:


(1) Create a Global Variable 

Name: vTestMode






(2) Open the Send E-Mail Action -> Create Recipients Reference




(3) Expand the Expression window




(4) Test the Global Variable with an if( ) statement to send the email to a dummy email or to a real recipient
