Simulation mode
See what a sequence would do before it does it.
Simulation runs a sequence against your real contacts without sending anything. It's how you check a flow before setting it active.
What it shows
- Who enrolls. The exact set of contacts the trigger would catch right now.
- What each receives. Every step, in order, with the template rendered for that specific contact so you can see the merge tags filled in.
- Where they branch. For a sequence with condition steps, which path each contact takes.
How to use it
From a draft sequence, choose Simulate. Step through the flow, or run the whole thing and review the outcome per contact. Nothing is queued, no emails go out, and no enrollments are created.
When to reach for it
- Before a first activation.
- After editing a trigger or a condition, to confirm the audience is still what you expect.
- When a stakeholder wants to see what the flow does without you sending them a string of test emails.
