# POST Test Send an Email Campaign Activity

`POST /emails/activities/{campaign_activity_id}/tests`

Use this method to send a test email to specific email addresses. Test emails allow you to verify how the email campaign activity will look before you send it to contacts. This method uses the `email_addresses` array in the request body to determine the recipients of the test email. The test email does not process any dynamic content in the email campaign activity. Dynamic content includes contact and custom field variables.

You can send up to 50 test emails each day. Each recipient you add to the `email_addresses` array in the request body counts towards this limit. Successfully sending a test email returns a 204 response code without a response body.

## Path parameters

- `campaign_activity_id` string, uuid, required

## Request body

- EmailTestSendInput
  - `email_addresses` string[], required — The recipients of the test email as an array of email address strings. You can send a test email to up to 5 different email addresses at a time.
  - `personal_message` string — A personal message for the recipients of the test email. Constant Contact displays this message before the email campaign activity content.

## Response `204`

Test email campaign activity successfully sent. No response body returned.
