We love sending rich, targeted, compelling email campaigns and we also love doing it with both [Sitecore](https://www.sitecore.com)EXM & [HubSpot](https://www.hubspot.com) Email, but, there are a number of critical things you just have to get right to really make an impact. I remember James Rosewell, from [51 Degrees](https://51degrees.com/) telling us that their software (built into Sitecore 9) can detect over 50,000 unique devices alone, combine that with so many browsers, clients and ESP providers, it's an unnerving feeling. As marketers, we need to ensure that regardless of whether a customer opens our email in Gmail on the latest version of Chrome or Outlook 2003 on their desktop, the email renders correctly. Sending an email to hundreds of thousands contacts, we have no idea what devices each of our recipients will use, so running extensive testing on the template before sending is essential. Testing our email across multiple devices has always been a significant challenge. If you were lucky enough to have Sitecore or a similarly powerful EDM platform that had a testing solution built in, that definitely made it easier. Unfortunately, a while ago Sitecore removed the Litmus integration from EXM, leaving us with a bit of a process gap. How do we solve this process problem? We recently decided to review the tools we use for email testing and after lots of late night research we settled on [EmailonAcid](https://www.emailonacid.com/). Similar to Litmus, you can quickly test a template on over 70 devices and clients, displaying the results in a single overview page, but we think UI is a bit slicker and easier to use. Not being able to test with the click of one button from the email editing tool is an overall drawback for us, but EmailonAcid gives you a nice single email address to run a test with. So, whilst it is an extra step and a change to our process, it's a simple, documentable one. Email on Acid and Sitecore We mostly send emails through Sitecore, so we thought we'd show you how we do it.  **Step 1:** Sign up!
