Resolution

Solution 1: Enable email notifications

Make sure that you have email notifications enabled. See:

Solution 2: Make sure that the email address is correct

  1. Go to Settings > Address Book.
  2. Find the contact that is not receiving the emails.
  3. Make sure that the correct email address is saved for that contact.

Solution 3: Check Junk/Spam folder

Have the person who did not receive the emails look in their email account's Junk or Spam folder to see if the message was moved there.

Solution 4: Try a different email address

Try sending the notification to an email address at a different email provider. Some email providers may be blocking the tracking messages.

Have the person who did not receive the emails check with their IT department to make sure they are not blocking the following addresses. We recommend whitelisting them to prevent problems for other users.
