# Season 2, Episode 76

Testing Email Templates, Email on Acid, Test Transactional Emails, OneSimpleAPI, Ticketing System Proof Of Concept, Taylors Personal Projects

Testing Email Templates

Testing Outlook and Gmail to see how your emails look

Images can be hidden by default

Newsletters have the same problem

Built in templates have normally been tested on all the platforms

Email on Acid - <a href="https://www.emailonacid.com">https://www.emailonacid.com</a>

Testing on many different platforms and devices

Periodically check your email designs as technology changes

CSS and HTML that works on a website won't necessarily work on an email client

Webmail is also a platform to consider

Are they mobile responsive?

Transactional emails are even more important to make sure they are right

OneSimpleAPI - <a href="https://onesimpleapi.com">https://onesimpleapi.com</a>

Allows you to do lots of things like create a website screenshot, create a QR code

Creating a ticketing system with a camera scanner

Validating on the website to make sure the code is valid

Random string for security in the QR code

You can then check that code off so it can't be used again

You can check out Taylors proof of concept demo for the ticketing system - <a href="https://scanner.tdrayson.com">https://scanner.tdrayson.com</a>
