# How do I test the visual impact of my email with eye tracking in Sarbacane Campaigns?

See before sending where your recipients' eyes will land and improve your message.

Predictive eye tracking in Sarbacane Campaigns simulates how a reader looks at your email before you send it. With a single test, you see which areas draw attention, in what order they are read and what aesthetic score your message gets.

## Prerequisites

-   A Sarbacane Campaigns subscription with the Exclusive plan.
    
-   An email campaign with a finished message.
    

## Steps

1.  Open the campaign you want to analyze.
    
2.  At the top of the screen, click the checks step.
    
3.  At the bottom right, in the eye tracking panel, click the button that launches the test.

4.  Once the test is finished, click a report's image to open it.
    

## Expected result

Four reports appear in the panel.

### Heat zones

A gradient from green (little attention) to red (a lot of attention) shows the areas looked at most.

### Eye movements

Numbered circles show the order in which the eyes land during the first few seconds.

### Opacity report

What remains visible is what the reader perceives in the first few seconds. Opaque areas are likely to go unnoticed.

### Aesthetic analysis

A score from 0 to 100 rates the color, clarity and balance of your email. The Withdraw indicator measures how much the message "pushes away" the eye (areas the eye does not linger on, or that feel unpleasant): the lower the value, the better.

**Important**: the test does not update by itself. After changing your message, run it again to get up-to-date results.

## Troubleshooting

### A message says I have reached the maximum number of tests for this feature

You have used all the eye tracking tests available on your account. To get more, contact technical support.

### The eye tracking panel isn't available

Eye tracking is reserved for the Exclusive plan. To change plans, contact your account manager.

### The results don't reflect my latest changes

The test analyzes the message as it was when you launched it. Run the test again from the checks step.
