How do I test placement in different tabs (e.g., Gmail Promotions)?
Testing tab placement requires Gmail-specific analysis:
Send to Gmail seeds: Include multiple Gmail test accounts in your seedlist.
Check each tab: Manually or programmatically verify which tab received the message: Primary, Promotions, Social, or Updates.
Track patterns: Note which content characteristics correlate with different tab placements.
Some testing tools report tab placement specifically. Others only distinguish inbox from spam.
Remember that Promotions tab is still the inbox. Tab placement affects engagement but is not a deliverability failure.
