How to check a campaign with SendProofs
Three things to know: how to save the delivered test email, how to upload it, and what the report will ask of you. Signed-in operators see this same guidance inside the workspace.
The workflow
-
Send a test campaign to your own inbox
Through the same platform and settings planned for the real send — the test must go through the real link rewriting.
-
Save the message that actually arrived
As a
.emlfile. Gmail on a computer: open the email → More → Download message. Outlook on the web: More actions → Download, then confirm the saved format is .eml rather than .msg. Apple Mail on Mac: File → Save As → Raw Message Source. Step-by-step guides: Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail. -
Upload it to your workspace
Files up to 2 MiB (2,097,152 bytes) with the
.emlextension. SendProofs extracts the links and images, classifies protected actions, and runs bounded public checks. -
Act on the evidence
Fix Broken items in your sending platform, review Warnings and Protected items by hand, then send a fresh test and recheck. SendProofs never edits the campaign for you.
If your menu looks different
- New Outlook for Windows: open the message, then choose More actions → Save as and confirm .eml is offered.
- Classic Outlook for Windows: File → Save As may produce .msg. Use an export that offers .eml; renaming .msg does not convert it.
- Gmail mobile or Apple Mail on iPhone/iPad: open the same mailbox on a computer and use the desktop path.
Still blocked? Contact support with the mail app and version you use — and do not attach the campaign email to the support request.
Reading the report
Every resource lands in one of six states — Healthy, Warning, Broken, Protected, Blocked or Inconclusive — each with a concrete next action. How to read a SendProofs report walks through all of them. Two rules worth internalizing: Protected links are never opened, and an Inconclusive result is neither a pass nor a failure.
