Preview email with personalization values without sending

I want to be able to preview emails with personalization values without having to send them. Currently, the preview window shows variables before picking a personalization value, which is not helpful for my needs. It would be beneficial to have a feature that allows me to click preview and see the personalization values in action, similar to what SendGrid offers.

Template previews don't show personalization variables because they need actual data to display.
Variables only compile when you send emails with personalization data through the API. The preview shows the raw template with {{variable_name}} placeholders.
To test your image variables:
1/ Send a test email using the API with your personalization data
2/ Include your image URL in the data object like:
"personalization": [{
"email": "your-email@example.com",
"data": {
"image_url": "https://example.com/image.jpg"
}
}]
The image should display properly in the actual sent email.
