Create the first subscribers
Now that you have finished the basic settings and created the first mailing list, it is time to create a test subscriber in your system. We suggest that you pick someone from your company as a test subscriber, so as not to bother your real subscribers with tests. First of all, you should make yourself a subscriber, using your personal e-mail address. Please remember that this e-mail address has to be the same as the one you defined in your personal settings.
To create a new subscriber, please click on “Subscriber Management -> Create Subscriber”.
