A/B Testing

Optimize your messaging strategy with A/B tests to identify data-driven improvements to emails for increasing customer engagement.

Overview

You can use the A/B testing functionality in the App to test variations in your email content (for example: subject lines, visual assets, or calls to action). A/B test reach for each version can be configured by percentage.

When a test is running, customers will receive a version of the message in the test (that is: the original message is not sent out to customers). Results for A/B tests can be viewed when a test is running or completed.

Save time by using our AI tool to generate A/B test message variants automatically. Just select the message you want to use for your A/B test, enter the details related to the area to improve (for example: message subject), and our AI tool will build a draft A/B test variant that you can customize.

Key Benefits

By testing variations in your email messages, you can compare versions of a variable in your email content to determine if a version performs better based on customer engagement. Using the A/B test feature in the App gives you full control over testing your email content, as well as access to live results during an active test.

A/B test results based on open rates and click rates provide measurable outcomes for determining if changing a component in your emails can lead to real increase in customer engagement.

The following section describes the configuration required for A/B testing.
