Preview - Placeholders

Hi Jay,

Great question! I usually add placeholders to macros, so I can quickly check if everything looks right or needs tinkering.

To be clear, I test the placeholders by adding them as content on a macro, and I test the output by applying it to a sample ticket.

@Jacob,

Thank you for that... It is a little bit helpful...

Maybe using a specific would help... Below is an automation I created with intentionally too much on it... I wanted to see what each of the below come up as in the customers email survey... Unfortunately, not all of these show in the macro preview screen....

I see what you mean, I forgot some placeholders don't resolve in macros. 

In that case, you could create a trigger that sends you an email containing your placeholder structure and have it fire only when you test. This should give you immediate feedback and allow you to make adjustments.

For example

You could get something like this

Hope that helps you out.
