Using the Spam Checker

What is the Spam Checker? 

The Spam Checker is a tool you can use before sending an email. It will check your subject line and body copy of your email to see how the email will hold up against common spam filter triggers.

Where is the Spam Checker?

You can find the Spam Checker tool on the "Select a Delivery Method" page. It is located below the "Select Recipients" and above "Schedule to Social Media" sections.

How to Use the Spam Checker?

Before sending your email, click "Check Now". The Spam Checker Tool will rate the risk level with "Low Risk", "Medium Risk", or "High Risk". The tool will also list the reason(s) it rated you at the given risk level. We suggest editing your subject line or click the "Back" button to edit your email, and can use the Spam Checker tool again.
