Hi,  
  
  
  
I did the following:  
  
  
  
1 - Create 5 test leads  
  
2 - Create a test list and added the test leads  
  
3 - Created an email (variant 1) and published it  
  
4 - Added an A/B test to the email (50% traffic weight)  
  
5 - Modified the A/B test email (variant 2) and published it  
  
6 - Created a simple campaign and published it:  
  
…- Basis is lead list from step 2  
  
…- Send email action with variant 1 from step 3 (only this variant is shown in the dropdown)  
  
  
  
When the emails are sent, I only receive 4 emails with variant 1 - I expected to receive 5 emails, 3 with variant 1 and 2 with variant 2.  
  
  
  
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?  
  
  
  
Peter

Hi Same issue here…  
5000 leads, 1 Parent mail and 4 A/B mails with 50% weight and A/B test winner criteria based on Clickthrough rate

But only the parent mail has been send. No A/B mails…

Any idea?

Sorry, but I have to push this. Currently, I have no way to implement A/B test.

Any suggestions?

Thank you,  
Peter

It might be a bug, could you create an issue on GH? [https://github.com/mautic/mautic/issues](https://github.com/mautic/mautic/issues)

Developers can track it there. They can overlook it here. Please, link the issue here as well after you create it.
