# Test an automation

Send a report immediately to confirm it works.

Testing an automation lets you check what the client will receive without waiting for the next scheduled send.

When testing, confirm:

-   The email arrives.
    
-   The subject and message are correct.
    
-   The report link opens.
    
-   The PDF, if attached, looks right.
    
-   The sender name and branding are acceptable.
    

If the test fails, fix it before activating the schedule.
