Testing Email Templates Without Affecting Live Emails

Discover how to test email template changes in Zendesk without impacting live emails.

Can I test email template changes without affecting live emails?

Unfortunately, any changes to Zendesk email templates are immediately live, so there's no way to test them without affecting live emails. However, if your plan includes a sandbox environment, you can safely test changes there.

If a sandbox isn't an option, you can create a test ticket with a personal email to see the changes in action. This method allows you to tweak the template as needed without impacting customer communications.
