How To Build a Custom Email Client Testing Profile

By default, your Email on Acid account is set up to display previews of all client profiles for mobile, desktop and webmail. If there are client previews you do not commonly use, you may create a custom email client testing profile to make your review process more efficient.

To create a new custom email client testing profile:

1. Hover over your account name in the upper right-hand corner, click the drop-down arrow next to your account name and select Email Testing under Test Settings from the list.
   
2. All clients will be selected with a blue and white check mark. Click the checkbox to add or remove clients in your custom testing profile.
   
3. Once you’ve selected all the clients you’d like in your profile, click the plus button in the upper right-hand corner.
   
4. A box will appear to complete the custom profile creation. Create a Name for your profile and a Name Abbreviation. Then click Add.
   
   Note: The Name Abbreviation is used for our Auto Inbox Process which is used to send your test code from your ESP to our system. Once sent, the project appears in your Projects area of Email on Acid. For more information on this process view our How Do I Use the Email on Acid Inbox? article.
5. If you would like this to be the default profile for all projects, click the radial box in front of Set as Default profile.
   

When we release new clients, you will be notified and need to update your custom client settings if you would like them to be included. To edit a current Email Client Testing Profile: 

1. Choose your desired client profile from the drop down
   
   
2. Click the box next to the client you would like to add, or uncheck for clients you would like to remove
3. Click Save 
   
   

Frequently Asked Questions & Troubleshooting Steps

Will all account users be able to use the custom profile for their projects?
Custom profiles do not become usable by other users. Each user will need to setup their own custom profile.

Does the custom profile automatically become used for projects sent from my ESP once I select default?
To use the custom profile to send code from your ESP to Email on Acid you will need to obtain the new email address associated with the custom profile.
