Testing Future Messages
You may want to see exactly how Future Messages work before relying on them for important future plans.
The easiest way to test the system is to create a Future Message using a Specific Date schedule and send it to yourself.
How to Test a Future Message
1. Create a new Future Message.
2. Enter your own email address as the recipient.
3. Select Specific Date as the delivery method.
4. Choose a date and time a few minutes in the future.
5. Save the message as Scheduled.
When the scheduled time arrives, the message will be delivered just as it would be for any other recipient.
Important
Specific Date schedules do not require passing confirmation and do not depend on Trusted Contacts.
Because of this, they are the best way to test the system before creating messages intended for future delivery after your passing.
Testing your releases can help ensure that you understand how the system works and are comfortable with your settings before creating important future content.
