Troubleshooting
Email not delivering
When an email doesn't arrive, it's rarely a mystery — every message you send leaves a record, and that record tells you exactly where it stopped. Start by noticing whether it's one member who missed it or everyone; that alone points you at the fix.
Start in the Activity log
Open Engagement → Activity. Every message leaves a row here, so this is where you find out what actually happened rather than guessing. The Activity tab lists each send and its status; the Bounces and Suppressions tabs gather the addresses email can no longer reach.
- Queued or Sending
- The message is on its way. Give it a moment and the status moves on by itself.
- Sent, then Delivered
- Sent means it was handed to the mail provider; Delivered means the provider confirmed it reached the mailbox. Delivered is the one you're hoping to see.
- Pending
- The message went out and NestPoint is waiting on the provider to confirm delivery. This isn't a failure — the confirmation comes back on its own, usually within a few minutes.
If one member isn't getting email
When it's a single person, the trouble is almost always their address or their preferences — not your setup.
- No row at all for them
- There's usually no email on file. A message with nowhere to go is skipped quietly, so it never shows up in the log. Add an email to their profile and send again.
- Skipped — invalid email
- There's an address, but it isn't a usable one — often a typo or a missing @. Correct it on their profile and resend.
- Skipped — unsubscribed
- They opted out of this kind of message, so NestPoint held it back. You can't push a campaign to someone who unsubscribed. Receipts and confirmations still reach them — those always go through.
- In the Bounces or Suppressions tab
- A past message bounced hard or was marked as spam, so NestPoint stopped sending to that address to protect your sending reputation. If the address has since been fixed, a workspace admin can remove it from Suppressions so future sends resume.
If no one is getting email
When every send is affected, look at a workspace setting rather than any one address. Two things are worth checking, both under Workspace management → Communication.
- Outreach is paused
- The outreach toggle stops campaigns and automations across the workspace, and their rows read "Skipped — email disabled." Turn it back on to resume them. Transactional messages like booking confirmations keep sending either way.
- Sender identity isn't finished
- The setup health card reads "Some setup steps still need attention" until the Sender display name and Reply-to email are filled in. Complete both and the card turns to "All set — communication is ready to send."
If it says Delivered but they still don't see it
Delivered means the provider handed the message to their mailbox — from there it's out of NestPoint's hands. The usual culprit is a spam or junk folder, an inbox filter, or a full mailbox. Ask them to check spam and to add your reply-to address as a contact so it lands cleanly next time.
