How Do I Test If the Email With the Captured Information Is Being Sent Correctly?

Short Answer: After you have set up the email for your captured information, simply click the ‘test and continue’ button. Then, check your email inbox to confirm that you have received the new lead information.

Full Explanation

When you configure the email to be sent with the information you have captured, it is important to verify that everything is working correctly. The process involves triggering a test to ensure the system sends the lead data as expected. By clicking on the ‘test and continue’ option, the setup sends a sample email containing the new lead information. You can then open your email client to see if the message has been delivered successfully. This verification step confirms that the email setup is functioning as intended.
