I would like to test an automated email notification to an admin. How do I go about doing this?

If you message `@discobot start tutorial` it will begin the normal onboarding conversation. Discobot also has an advanced tutorial accessible by `@discobot start advanced tutorial`

But if I recall correctly, discobot tutorial messages do not send emails.

From the screenshot it looks like the ask is to test the discobot welcome message not the tutorial. My suggestion would be to create a test user and then delete it when done with it.
