Why pre-send QA matters
Email mistakes are expensive because they are found too late.
02
Reporting Monday is going to be a problem.
One untagged link can pollute weeks of attribution. You will not notice until the dashboard goes weird.
03
The white logo disappears in dark mode.
You will see it for the first time the same moment your reader does. Forty thousand of them.
04
The subject line is the first one that sounded okay.
It usually is. Open rates suffer for it, every campaign, quietly.
What it checks
Six checks. One report. Roughly 90 seconds.
The same things you would check by hand if you had unlimited patience and four browser windows open. We just do them in parallel and put the answer somewhere your client can read it.
01 - Links
Every link clicked. Every redirect followed.
We follow each link in your campaign, including the ones hiding behind tracking redirects, and report status codes, redirect chains, and timeouts. Unsubscribe and preference-center links are skipped on purpose.

to /spring-promo (404)
02 - UTMs
Tracking tags caught before reporting Monday.
Missing utm_source, missing utm_campaign, inconsistent values across links, duplicate campaign names. The kind of thing nobody notices until the dashboard goes weird two weeks later.

03 - Copy
Grammar, typos, and broken merge tags.
Spelling, punctuation, awkward phrasing, plus the silent killer: a merge tag that did not render. We check the rendered HTML, so what we flag is what your reader will see.
Hi {{first_name}}, you're going to recieve our latest picks...
Critical: merge tag did not render
Warning: "recieve" to "receive"
04 - Subject line
AI rewrites tuned to lift open rates.
Score your current subject line, then get rewrites with predicted lift. On higher plans, the rewrites can learn your brand voice from past campaigns.

05 - Rendering
Desktop, mobile, dark mode - three real renders.
We render the HTML at three viewports, including dark-mode edge cases that quietly hide white logos and break button contrast. Side-by-side in the report.

SPF, DKIM, DMARC - explained, not just reported.
Sender setup signals from headers and DNS, with plain-English explanations of what each one means and how to fix it.

How it works
Send a test email. That is the workflow.
01
Forward a test
From your normal test-send flow in Mailchimp, Klaviyo, HubSpot, or any platform. We give you a private inbox for your workspace.
02
Checks run
We parse the message, follow links, validate UTMs, score the copy, render at three viewports, and inspect headers in parallel.
03
AI reads the renders
The visual review notices broken layouts, unreadable contrast, missing alt text, and issues that only show up rendered.
04
Share the report
A clean URL with critical issues at the top. Send it to your client without forcing a login. Reports retain for the plan window.
How we compare
The QA-focused checks the big render tools skip.
Litmus and Email on Acid are great at showing your email in many inboxes. They are not great at telling you the campaign CTA is broken or the UTMs are wrong. We are.

We caught a 404 on the primary CTA forty seconds before send. That is the cheapest $19 I spend each month, and it is not close.

FAQ
Things people ask first.
How does the test inbox work?
Each workspace gets a private review address. Forward your normal test send there from any platform. We start running checks when the email arrives.
Will this slow down my workflow?
The goal is a report in about a minute or two. You can keep working while the checks run, then open the report when it is ready.
What about data and privacy?
Reports are scoped to your workspace and retained according to your plan. Campaign content is not used to train models.
Does this replace Litmus or Email on Acid?
No. Those tools specialize in many-client rendering. CheckYourCampaign focuses on campaign QA: links, tracking, copy, sender setup, subject lines, and a clear share report.
What does the AI actually do?
It reviews rendered screenshots for visual issues and helps score or improve subject lines. It does not write the campaign for you.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. You can manage your plan from account settings, and reports remain available through the retention window.
Start pre-send review
Catch the mistake while it is still a test email.
Launch with cleaner links, cleaner tracking, clearer rendering risk, and a report your client can understand.
