# Send application email test

> <Info>This API is in beta. Endpoints, fields, and behavior may still change, so avoid depending on it in production.</Info>

Sends you a test copy of one of the app's application emails, exactly as [Preview application email](/api-reference/preview-application-email) renders it, sample values included.

The test goes only to the email address of the user your credential belongs to. You can't choose another recipient.

This is limited to 5 requests per minute per app for each workspace's personal API keys, so every key in a workspace shares one allowance. Some workspaces have a different limit.

<Note>This endpoint accepts a personal API key belonging to a user with editor access to the app. A read-only key is refused, and workspace API keys are not accepted.</Note>
