how to use gmail test emails for better email testing and debugging

Thanks everyone for the awesome tips! 🙌

Tried the BCC trick and it’s way cleaner than CC. Also made a filter like someone suggested—game changer!

Quick follow-up: Anyone know if Gmail’s "Schedule Send" trick works for tracking opens/clicks? Or do I need another tool for that?

(And yeah, Litmus looks cool but $$$. Maybe I’ll try the free trials first haha.)
