Email communication is integral to user engagement and successful operations within any platform. Monitoring the delivery status of these emails ensures:

  1. Efficient communication: You can identify and rectify delivery issues promptly, ensuring seamless interaction with your users.

  2. Enhanced user experience: By ensuring timely email delivery, users stay informed, fostering trust and reliability.

  3. Operational insight: Tracking allows you to understand potential issues with specific email servers or addresses, assisting in strategic decision-making.


Tracking emails

  1. For pending users:

    • Navigate to Control > Users > Invitations.

    • This section displays invitation emails sent to users, along with their delivery status.

    • Find more about User Invitations.

  2. For all users:

    • Navigate to Control > Users > User Details > Emails.

    • Every user's detail page houses an "Emails" tab.

    • Here, you can access a complete record of emails sent to the specific user.

    • Email status can be identified in the left column.

  • Click "View email details" to open the email content in a new window, offering a clear view of what the user received.


Understanding email statuses:

  • Processing: The email has been received and is in the process of being sent.

  • Delivered: The email has successfully reached the recipient's mail server.

  • Bounced: The mail server declined the email permanently, typically indicating an issue with the recipient's email address.

  • Dropped: The email was discarded by the recipient's mail server.

  • Blocked: A temporary issue prevented the email server from accepting the message. This specific email won't be resent, but future messages to this address will be attempted.

  • Deferred: Initial delivery attempts were unsuccessful. The system will retry sending for a few more hours before marking it as "bounced" if unsuccessful.

  • Unknown: No data is available for this email.


Good to know πŸ‘€

  • After an email has either bounced or been dropped, that particular address won't receive emails from us for the subsequent 7 days.

  • If the status indicates an email was delivered, yet the recipient says otherwise, kindly advise them to inspect their spam or junk folder.
