What To Check When Confirmation Emails Aren't Being Delivered

Updated this week

Troubleshooting Contest Email Issues

If you are not receiving contest-related emails, such as confirmation or bounceback messages, there are a few steps you can follow to resolve this issue:

Steps to Troubleshoot:

  1. Check Spam/Junk Folders: Sometimes, legitimate messages may get redirected to spam or junk folders. Verify that emails are not being inadvertently filtered. Additionally, review any email filters or rules that might divert or delete messages related to the experience.

  2. Whitelist the Sender Address: Ensure that the contest sender address is added to your email account’s list of allowed/safe senders. For example, if your contest manager uses an address like "noreply@[yourdomain].com," add that address to the whitelist.

  3. Confirm Network or Gateway Settings: If you are using a corporate network or an email security gateway, make sure emails from the experience sender’s domain are not being blocked. Consult your IT team to whitelist the contest’s domain, ensuring uninterrupted delivery.

  4. Test the Solution: After performing these steps, attempt to submit another test entry for the contest. Confirm whether the confirmation or bounceback email is successfully delivered.
