Connect your ESP
Connect your ESP to Litmus in your account settings. Each ESP connection is custom built to the service provider's specifications so there may be some special steps depending on which you choose. You can connect multiple ESPs to your Litmus account, even more than one of the same service. Once you complete the sync setup for each of them, you'll be able to select the version you need for any of your emails.
Start a spam test
- Starting in the Test top menu link, select View and create spam tests in the banner.
- If this is your first test, you'll see the spam test selection window. Otherwise, use the green Start a new spam test button in the upper right corner.
- Choose the Pull from your ESP option and then select your ESP from the connected providers in the dropdown.
- Find your email in the list of your most recent drafts or you can use the search box to find it. Then use the Start your spam test button in the lower right corner.
- Your test results will automatically begin to start populating. Litmus uses your ESP to send your email to 25+ spam services to assess issues that may lower your deliverability rates.
Previews & QA spam check
Litmus also provides an abbreviated spam test in your Previews & QA tab. This check focuses on authentication records and other main email components that can affect your email deliverability.
