You will be given the unique id string and the seed list. Insert the id in the message content and send the message to the seed list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more details, read this tutorial: <a href=\"https:\/\/glockapps.com\/tutorials\/test-inbox-placement-and-test-spam-score\/\">How to Run an Inbox Insight Test<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Smart Tests via Single Proxy Email Address<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To use smart tests, you need to connect your mailbox with GlockApps, generate a  proxy email address, and send the message to the proxy address. GlockApps will do the rest for you: create a test and re-send the message to the seed list via your email account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more details, read this tutorial: <a href=\"https:\/\/glockapps.com\/tutorials\/test-deliverability-mail-server\/\">How to Test Emails via One Proxy Email Address<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Automatic Tests<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An automatic test will run on a regular basis at the chosen interval without you needing to manually force the test. The automatic test works for the same message. It is possible to make changes to the test settings without deleting it and creating a new one. After the automatic test is complete, you can receive alerts if the chosen criteria is met. For instance, you can receive an alert if your Inbox rate at Gmail is lower than 70%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more details, read this tutorial: <a href=\"https:\/\/glockapps.com\/tutorials\/automatic-email-spam-test\/\">How to Create Automatic Tests<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GlockApps supports the following testing modes: 1) manual tests, 2) smart tests, and 3) automatic tests.
