Step 4: Fill in your test details:

  • Test Name: Use a clear, descriptive name to identify your test later.

  • Test Type: Choose Monthly (runs every month) or One-Time (runs once).

  • Select Mailbox: Pick the mailbox you want to test.

Once finished, click Create Test to move ahead.

Step 5: Choose your preferred payment method and select the option that fits your needs. Click Continue to proceed.


Reviewing the Placement Test Dashboard
