Content Detective

What Is Content Detective

Content Detective is a tool that helps you identify spam triggers in your email content. This feature mirrors the logic used by spam-filtering software to identify words, phrases, and patterns that are likely to trigger filters and then recommends a resolution to each identified problem. After running the Content Detective, you can edit the trigger it identifies out of your email.

Typically, having just one potential trigger word or phrase will not affect your email's deliverability. However, if Content Detective finds two or more potential triggers, you should remove them to improve your subscribers' chances of receiving your email.

How to Use Content Detective

1. Click the Content tab.
2. Click the My Emails folder or whichever sub-folder holds the email.
   The email workspace displays the emails in the selected folder. The value in the Content Detective column describes the email's Content Detective status.
   If the Content Detective status is Not Checked, the Content Detective has not been run on this email (or has not been run since the last time the email was modified).
3. Select the checkbox next to the email and click the Content Detective button.
   The Content Detective scans your email and then presents a list of the potential triggers (if any), along with ways in which you can remove these triggers. If you made any changes to the text version of the email, the Content Detective presents its results separately for the HTML version and the text version.
4. The buttons at the bottom of the Content Detective dialog box give you the following options:
   • Print: You can print the results by clicking this button, which brings up the standard Windows Print dialog box.
   • Save: You can save the results to a text file by clicking this button, which brings up the standard Windows File Download dialog box with the option to open or save the file (choose the Save option).
   • Close: Click this button to exit the Content Detective.

If potential problems were found, the Content Detective status changes to Warning until edits are made to the email, at which time the status will return to Not Checked.

A status of OK means that the Content Detective has been run and no potential triggers were found. If you edit the email further, the status will return to Not Checked.
