Checking your newsletter for broken links...learned about this tool a day too late.
Yesterday I sent my newsletter out with 2 broken links.
@janel pointed out this free tool https://www.mail-tester.com/ which I will now be using every time I send out an issue. It's in her Newsletter OS product too, I just didn't see it in there.
i feel you....
it happend to me countless of times.
did you tried this? https://www.accessible-email.org/
Thanks for the shoutout! credits to @TheWonderingZall for showing it to me!

Yup. I do that too. And I also email to 2 family members and they play editor & debugger. But humans make mistakes and we all overlooked the same link. Definitely doing both mail-tester & human from now on.
I hope you didn't just jinx yourself! 😀

That's the one! In the email, I have the wrong link to Attention Insight (it should be https://attentioninsight.com and not with an "s" at the end).
I also have the wrong link to the "view in browser".
I updated the links on the browser version and sent out a tweet, but did not send out a correction email because I didn't want to "spam" my readers.
How do other people deal with this? Do you send out a correction?
Don’t send a correction. It’s annoying to the readers. Correct it next week and maybe email people who have clicked on the correct link. Also don’t worry too much, things like that happen even to the best :)
