Thank you for your pateince here. I am ecstatic to be updating this post to "In Beta" today. We rolled this feature out to a list of Beta users from this morning. If you want to be added to it please reach out to support and they can request it through the proper channels.
We know this has been a very popular request and the team have been working so hard to deliver this as fast as possible. We hope to be rolling it out to a wider audience in coming weeks.
Hi All! Again thank you for your patience on this feature. Again we are almost there with some final checks and tests. We hope to have this released to Beta next week. I will update this post when it is live. Please do reach out to your CSM if you want to be part of the Beta - By this I mean send an email to support and they can add you to the Beta list.
We are really excited to get this out after months of hard work by the team here.
We are in final testing here. expecting to release to beta group in late Nov. If you want to get siogned up for Beta please reach out to your CSM and they can add you to list.
I commented with updates but they seem to be lost in thread. Sorry about confusion.
Quick update here. Again thank you for your patience and feedback here. We are currently moving to testing this feature. It will take a bit of time as it is a big change on the email infastructure. I will update here as soon as it is in Beta. I wont give an exact timing as it depends on what we find in testing. Anyone who has signed up will be in the first release group, if you have not asked support for this please reach out and they can add you to the beta list.
Thank you so much for all your interest and comments in this forum. I am the Product Manager on Marketing Email and I wanted to jump in here as I have been closest to this project for past few months. We are so close, we had hit a couple of small bumps that set us back with the complexity of this build. We are in the final stretch and we are talking about delivering this in September. We have had 2 teams involved in building this and we are so excited to release the Beta as soon as we can. I will update this post as soon as it is ready for beta.
Thank you for your patience and continued interest in this project.
Hi folks - Jumping in here again from the HubSpot Product team. I want to apologize for how long this has taken. This work is in progress and is a high priority for the team. Unfortunately, we have hit a number of snags during the development of this, which is slowing down the release. Hopefully in another month or so we should have clarity on timing. I'll post here as soon as we have more details to share. In the meantime please feel free to keep commenting, and upvoting the post.
Hi folks - Just posting a quick update on this thread. We are still focused on this project. Waiting on a couple of the backend changes to wrap up before we move into a Beta. Unfortunately, the work took a bit longer than originally anticipated. We are targeting getting the feature into a Beta this quarter (hopefully sometime in late May/ early June). As we roll out the Beta I will announce that in this forum, and post a form for you all to fill out to join. So hang tight for that!
We are very excited to get this one rolled out to you all and to start collecting feedback on it.
As @Shay mentioned I will be taking over this thread. I wanted to post an update and ask a couple of questions to the group here. Here is the basic functionality we will be supporting in the Beta:
A simple 50-50 split between 2 variants
Ability to start and end tests on the same automated email (without cloning and republishing).
Ability to see a history of the tests run on that automated email.
Manually choosing a winner based on open/ click data.
When digging into this project we realized that AB testing for Automated emails differs from regular 1-off batch emails. The main difference is that Automated emails have the potential to last forever. Thus we needed to support the ability to start and end multiple tests on an Automated email. Tracking those changes and tests over time. Here are some questions I had for the group:
Q1: How do you all keep track of the different experiments and tests you have run today with Batch Email? Or with other tools (website pages, CTAs, etc.)?
Q2: Are their other metrics that are important to picking a winning variant other than Open & Click information? What are they and how do you solve for that today?
Q3: What are the other important pieces of functionality that are missing from above? And which are the most important to you? (ex/ configurable percentages, multivariant, calculations to pick a winner, ability to have HS pick a winner, etc.)
We are getting very close to having a Beta. Once we have it I will post a form in this thread in order for you all to join. We will then be quickly iterating and adding more advanced functionality.
Number 1: Progress is going well, we have our new A/B framework in good shape and at the moment we're focusing on the new in-app features needed to begin/end and analyse this new type of A/B test for workflow emails. This is a big update on what is currently available for batch emails, and will give you the ability to end an A/B test and start a new one on the same email without needing to rebuild the email over and over again. Getting very close now!
Number 2: Moving forward this feature, the updates on it's release and all feedback will be handled by my colleague @jaleonard19. Jake is also a PM here working on our marketing email tools and has actually been the one spearheadding this feature for some time now so you'll be in great hands.
Jake is currently working on our release plans and will be sharing a public beta signup form with you all as soon as it's ready. Thank you all again for your feedback and suggestions. Looking forward to seeing the impact this will have for you all.
Will do @EJVFernyhough ! We'll be sharing a beta sign up form with everyone on this post when it's available so everyone will have the opportunity to sign up once it's open.
Hi @ridingforlife I can definitely share more. At the moment we're making good progress but factoring in the upcoming US and EU holiday season it's unlikely that we'll be hitting beta-ready in Q4 but safe to say that we'll have a beta in Q1 2020. As soon as we have an open beta we'll offer it up to everyone in this thread to give it a try.
Hi all, just to keep everyone updated on our progress here, we've been making decent headway with the infrastructure planning and development roadmap for this feature and are making meaningful progress towards a beta.
There's still a lot of moving pieces here so we don't have a concrete date on when we'll be opening up a beta but I wanted to keep you all in the loop and confirm that we're definitely focused on this and are actively working on it.
Thanks @petersherlock93! Just a case of good ol' miscommunication 🙂 The "on pause" here just means that we were still deep into the infrastructure and reliability work needed for this (and other) functionality. It was by no means deprioritised or taken off the roadmap, just needed to get the ordering right on the priorities to make sure we didn't put the cart in front of the horse, so to speak.
Hi @petersherlock93 (and all following along). I can confirm that this isn't the case, A/B testing of automated emails is still very much a priority for us.
For the past few months we have been focused primarily on work on the underlying infrastructure of email, to ensure speed, stability and reliability of the overall platform and user experience. We're nearing the end of this work right now which enables us to continue to build on top of the email tool and makes it possible for us to build more net-new functionality in a stable and scalable way, A/B testing of automated emails being a great example of that.
While there hasn't been much news on this specific feature lately, it's something that is very high on our roadmap and now that we're seeing results from our infrastructure and performance work we're able to refocus our efforts on bringing these new features to the product. Rest assured that it's still something we're focused on.
While we aren't yet at the stage of a beta for this feature, I'd recommend checking out these resources (one and two) from the HubSpot blog that provide interim solutions and as soon as we have a beta that's available for everyone I'll share a signup form for everyone here to try out. Thanks again for your feedback and for keeping the momentum going here.
Hi all, I wanted to share a quick status update with you on this. We've spent some time researching options for this feature and are making good progress. We'll soon be heading into a dedicated research phase and as we get close to a beta of this we'll open it up to everyone on this post to get early access. Please do keep your feedbac/upvotes coming, we really appreciate it.
Thank you all for sharing your feedback and use cases on this. The product team is currently thinking about how to solve this, and will post updates here.
"Anyone who has signed up will be in the first release group, if you have not asked support for this please reach out and they can add you to the beta list."
By this, do you mean anyone who replied in this thread, or do you have to take a specific action to be added to the beta list?
While I realize the complexity of it, this is incredibly necessary tool! How can we not A/B automated emails? I am developing so many automated marketing plans, but can't believe I can't test effectiveness to make adjustments. 😞
What is the status of the update that will allow this?
To share my use case when this is live: we have a sales video for new prospects at the top of our funnel. We promise them a bonus when they watch the video, and this bonus reaches them via an email workflow. It's very important to me that the open and click through rates on this first email are as high as possible. It translates into more sales while the lead is hot, and the higher open rates on this first email with them will benefit our ISP rating.
In addition this warm lead workflow continues to nurture the lead until they convert (schedule a free evaluation with us), so I want to be able to optimize each email for opens and ctr. This ultimately will be a huge factor in my cost per client.
Has there been an update on this? It's been 9 months since the last comment and I'm running into a few instances where I want to A/B test subject lines for automated emails.
We are in final testing here. expecting to release to beta group in late Nov. If you want to get siogned up for Beta please reach out to your CSM and they can add you to list.
I commented with updates but they seem to be lost in thread. Sorry about confusion.

@Shane_Janssens Since its now passed the end of November, can we get an esitmated date? We have so many processes waiting on this ability. I am super embarrased because I keep promising my VP that the functionality is coming.
Thank you for your and your teams hard work on this, I know its super tricky!
Is there already any news? We've got everything prepared and ready for this feature.. We planned everything thowards the first week of december, as mentioned above. (and yet it isn't there, unfortunatly )
As an addition to the above, kindly ask you to consider A/B testing for the "Abandoned Cart" workflow. In this case, we don't have time to consolidate customers and split them for testing 2 templates. It should work automatically.
I understand that this is complex, the thing that I'm confused about is the lack of communication. Since June they have been saying it's almost done and in testing, and then last month they said for sure by the end of November, now its mid December and no status update.

The ability to A/B test to automated emails is now in public beta. This enables you to try new tactics and optimize your email sending. To A/B test an email, open the email editor and click "run a test" in the top left.
