Email Inbox Previews

Email Inbox Previews

Email Inbox Previews allow you to see how your email will display across a variety of devices and clients before you hit send. Available on the Preview step of a campaign, this feature helps you catch design issues early and ensure a consistent experience for your audience.

How Email Inbox Previews Work

When you're on the Preview step of a campaign, you'll find the Inbox Preview section. From there, you can:

  • Generate previews for a wide variety of clients and devices

  • Interact with thumbnail views to quickly spot layout differences

  • Click into any preview to view a full rendering of how the email will appear in that client

  • Refresh previews as you make changes to your design

Delivra integrates with Litmus to generate accurate, real-time previews of your email in dozens of popular email clients. This includes desktop, mobile, and web-based clients listed below:

 The Litmus integration is seamless—you won’t need a separate Litmus account, and there's no need to leave Delivra to test. The integration also automatically updates the available email clients as they are released or updated, so you're always able to test the latest versions of your recipients' inboxes.

Best Practices and Tips

  • Use inbox previews before every major send—especially for campaigns with complex layouts or dynamic content.

  • Pay close attention to Outlook previews, as this client tends to be the least forgiving with rendering.

  • Scan for issues with spacing, font rendering, and images that might display differently between clients.

  • Test dynamic content conditions to confirm that fallback values and formatting display as intended.

Practical Use Cases

  • B2B newsletters targeting Outlook-heavy audiences: Spot alignment or styling issues in older versions of Outlook before they affect deliverability.

  • Retail campaigns featuring personalized content blocks: Confirm that your dynamic content displays correctly on mobile clients like Apple Mail or Gmail for iOS.

  • Product launches or announcements: Ensure brand consistency across all major inboxes to protect the visual integrity of your message.

Email Inbox Previews is a paid add-on to your license. Credits can be purchased to use this feature. Each rendered preview costs 1 credit per email client used in the render. Please email success@delivra.com for more information.
