Resolving Email Notification Delivery Issues in Schedly |

Overview

In Schedly, email notifications are crucial for keeping users informed about scheduling changes, appointment confirmations, and other important updates. When notifications don't send as expected, it can disrupt communication and planning. This guide helps administrators troubleshoot and resolve common issues related to email notification delivery.

Prerequisites

You must be an Admin in your Schedly organization to access the settings required for these steps.
Ensure you have access to the administrative email account associated with your Schedly account for testing purposes.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Verify Notification Settings in the Admin Panel

Log in to your Schedly account.
Navigate to Settings from the main navigation menu.
Select Organizations and choose your organization name.
Under Settings, ensure that all notification settings are correctly configured to allow email notifications.

2. Check for Blocked Email Addresses

Within the Organizations section, navigate to Members.
Use the "Filter" button to search for any members whose email addresses might be blocked or marked for non-delivery.
Correct any incorrect email addresses or remove members from blocklists directly within this interface.

3. Examine Server Logs for Email Errors

Access your email server's logs through the administrator portal (this step varies by email provider; consult your provider's documentation if needed).
Look for logs related to email delivery failures, such as bounced notifications.
Identify specific errors or rejection reasons tied to Schedly's emails to address configuration issues.

4. Test Notifications with Different Scenarios

Return to Schedly Services from the main navigation menu and select Event Types.
Create a test event type and ensure the "Requires confirmation" option is checked.
Book a test service under this event to trigger email notifications.
Monitor whether you receive these email notifications promptly.

5. Contact Support for Unresolved Issues

For issues persisting despite these steps, consider consulting additional troubleshooting resources within Schedly's help center or reaching out to your IT department to examine broader email infrastructure issues.
