Common Email Situations
Updated over a week ago

If you are having an increased amount of issues with email deliverability, please ensure you are using our default "From" address in your Settings > Email field of noreply@uscreen.io as this will improve email deliverability.

As a Uscreen admin, you can check if an email has been opened by an end-user by checking their Email History. If an email has not been opened, this does not mean that the email has not been delivered.

Emails Going to Spam

Always ask the end-user to check their spam or junk folders, as sometimes emails can end up filtered into these folders.

While it's difficult to predict why an email service provider might send an email to spam or junk, the workaround to this problem is to advise end-users to place your email address on a whitelist.

Here's some helpful steps you can provide to your end-users who may not be receiving your emails to their inbox. In the event that the email service provider is not listed below, your end-users can follow similar steps for adding a domain to a whitelist with their provider.

Step 2: If the email from your site has made its way to their spam folder, have them mark the email as Not Spam.

Step 3: Create a filter to tell Gmail to whitelist emails from your domain. Here are sub-steps for this:
