Email and follow-ups
Understand what happened to an email
Use Activity to distinguish a waiting message, a successful handoff, and a failure that needs attention.
- Who this helps
- Site Owners and Admins investigating a campaign, flow, or reply.
- Before starting
- Know the website, workflow, and approximate send time. Check the selected site's plan and sender.
- Done when
- The visible status explains the next action without creating duplicate sends.
01
Read Activity
Activity shows the latest 50 emails. A campaign card also summarizes that campaign's delivery counts.
Queued means delivery is pending. Sent or Accepted, delivery unconfirmed means the provider accepted the send without confirmed delivery.
Delivered means the recipient's mail server accepted the email. It does not prove inbox placement or that someone read it.
- Open Email → the website → Activity.
- Find the message by subject and time.
- Read its status, then compare it with the flow or campaign state.
- Use Refresh to request the latest results.
02
When the message is waiting
Waiting for sending allowance means a provider limit postponed delivery. Waiting for previous email means an earlier flow step must send first.
Paused refers to a paused campaign. Waiting for email service indicates a temporary service problem.
- Check the campaign's schedule and pause state.
- Check the flow's delays and earlier steps.
- Confirm that the sender remains ready and the owner's plan is eligible.
- Let an eligible queued message continue instead of creating another copy.
A scheduled time is an earliest send request, not a guarantee. Do not promise an exact recipient arrival time.
03
When delivery stops
An email rejection can point to content or recipient problems. A connection or missing-sender message needs account attention.
Delivery unconfirmed; automatic retries stopped means the system cannot safely establish the result and has stopped automatic recovery.
- Read the visible error and check the affected sender or recipient.
- Check the recipient's status in Contacts.
- Use Help for a connection failure or an unconfirmed outcome.
- Confirm the actual result before manually sending another message.
A bounced or complained-about address can be suppressed. Importing it again does not remove that protection.
04
When a form follow-up never starts
A saved lead and an email sequence are separate outcomes. Start by confirming that the enquiry exists.
- Find the new submission in Leads or the site's Forms tab.
- Confirm that it includes an email address.
- Check that the flow was on before the submission.
- Compare its Form name with the actual form identifier.
- Check recipient unsubscribe or suppression status.
- Check for an existing overlapping sequence for that contact and flow.
05
Give support a reproducible report
Use Help in the app. Include the site name, workflow name, approximate time, and the visible status.
State whether the issue is a missing lead, a queued email, a delivery failure, or a missing reply. Those require different checks.
Do not paste secret keys or the full customer conversation into a general screenshot. Redact private details that do not help diagnose the issue.
