Prior to Hubspot, we used Constant Contact for email marketing and when sending a test email, Constant Contact allowed a space to send a short message along with the test email proof. This worked great for sending the email to the appropriate people for their approval or sending the email to a colleague and asking for help on a specific section.

I took forgranted the ability to include a short message with the test email and now I wish Hubspot had it.

Hi @JStamm,

You’re correct, this is currently not possible. Other user have already requested this in the HubSpot Ideas section of the community. I’d recommend upvoting and commenting; the product team reviews these submissions based on their popularity: [Option to add brief message to a Test Email](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/Option-to-add-brief-message-to-a-Test-Email/idi-p/457704)

Best regards!
