Use a trap group trap-group

A trap group (also known as Seed list) is used to include specific addresses in your deliveries to monitor and verify the distribution process by targeting profiles who do not match the defined target criteria. This way, recipients who are out of the delivery scope can receive the delivery, as any other target recipient would.

A trap group is a group of seed addresses, named Test profile on Campaign web user interface.
