Guide Getting Started

We’re so glad you’re here! Let’s get you set up for success. We’ll cover the basics of account setup and the core functions of Litmus.

Test & monitor your emails

Start testing and monitoring your emails in just a few steps. We’ll help you automate your QA (quality assurance) process and deliver error-free email experiences, every time.

Send in your email

Start by sending a test email from your email service provider to check how your email displays in different email clients and best practices to ensure your email will land in your subscribers’ inboxes with spam testing.

* Spam testing is available on Plus and Enterprise plans.

Test from a template

If you prefer to start from a template but don’t have one of your own created yet, you’re welcome to use pre-made templates from our free template hub.

  • Grab a template from our Free Template Hub
  • After customizing it, run a test by pasting the HTML, sending from your ESP or directly in Litmus Builder

Test from Litmus Builder

If you choose to code and build your emails in Litmus Builder, you can run many of your pre-send tests directly within Litmus Builder and easily run a full Litmus Test in just a single click.

Set up email monitoring

Automatically monitor your emails and be alerted of potential changes that put your subscriber experience at risk by activating Litmus Email Guardian. Once you have run a Preview and QA test for your email, you can activate Email Guardian in a single click.

Start monitoring an email: Litmus Home Page > Email Guardian section at the top left > Get started now
