Social media was abuzz tonight after thousands of HBO Max subscribers received strange emails titled "Integration Test Email #1," which was ultimately blamed on a HBO Max intern.
As a test email going out to all HBO Max subscribers wasn't bad enough, HBO Max's Twitter account blamed an intern for the mistakenly sent email blast.
We mistakenly sent out an empty test email to a portion of our HBO Max mailing list this evening.
As HBO Max sent the email via Sendgrid, a popular email marketing platform, it was likely a marketing test that was blasted out to all registered HBO Max accounts by mistake.
Even though the email was harmless, recipients on Twitter had a fun time making lighthearted jests about the HBO Max email.
