It’s easy to create an email proof by sending a test email from your email marketing system to a one-time-use email address, then PageProof will create the proof for you. Hubspot has a restriction which means an additional step must take place.
Hubspot only allows test emails to be sent to a Hubspot user, or an email address that has been verified. The email addresses that are supplied by PageProof are not able to be verified since they are a one-time-use, however you can still create an email proof. Here’s how.

Step 1
If you are not sending the test email to an existing Hubspot user, follow these Hubspot instructions on how to verify the email address you’d like to use.
