The email log will include the following fields:
- Date - the date and time when the email was sent out
- Subject - the subject line on the email
- To - this field notes the user and email address the email was sent to
- Email Type -the type helps to track what email or notification was sent out
- Status - this field gives the status on whether the email was delivered, pending, not sent, or blocked.
Pending status - this can be due to several possible reasons:
- the email may be taking a bit longer to be delivered
- the email address could not be found to receive the email
- Most commonly, there is a typo in the email address listed in the employee profile.
To troubleshoot a pending or not sent email status, check the email in the employee profile to confirm the email is correct and resend the email.
Not Sent Status or Blocked - If an email address is showing as blocked, then all outgoing emails from your VeriClock account will not be sent to the blocked email address until the block is resolved.
You can unblock the email address by clicking on the block error and unblocking that email address. Removing a block will not resend previously unsent emails, but future emails will go out unless another block is set. Talk to the employee showing the block to see if they have marked emails from your account as spam, or if their email provider is automatically setting your account emails to block.
An email also wont be sent if the user has unsubscribed from emails from their Settings>Personal tab in their VeriClock account.
