Test an email campaign

2 min read

Testing ensures your restock emails trigger correctly in a real storefront scenario—from subscription to restock and delivery.

🎥 Walkthrough:

Before you begin

Make sure you have:

  • Your campaign is created and Active
  • A workflow is assigned to the campaign
  • An email template is selected in the workflow
  • The product or variant you're testing is out of stock.

Step-by-step: Test your email campaign

Check the “Notify me” widget on the storefront

  1. Open a product page for an out-of-stock item
  2. Confirm the Notify me button or form is visible.

If the widget doesn’t appear:

  • Verify the product or variant is out of stock
  • Make sure XFlow Helper is enabled in your theme
  • Confirm the campaign status is Active

Subscribe using the Notify me form

  1. Click the Notify me button
  2. Enter a test email address
  3. Submit the form

What to expect

  • A success message confirms the subscription
  • The subscriber is saved in XFlow

Restock the product (real-world test)

  1. Go to Shopify admin > Products > Inventory
  2. Add inventory to the product or variant you subscribed to
  3. Make sure the item becomes available for purchase.

XFlow detects the restock automatically.

Confirm the email is sent

✅ The assigned workflow runs

✅ The back-in-stock email is sent based on your workflow timing

✅ Delivery, opens, and purchases are tracked automatically

If your workflow includes delays, wait for the configured time before checking your inbox.

What XFlow tracks for you

Once the campaign is triggered, XFlow automatically tracks:

  • Email delivery status
  • Email opens
  • Purchases after notification

No additional setup is required.
