Troubleshooting ๐Ÿ› 

If you're generating reports, but aren't receiving our emails, please do the following troubleshooting steps before contacting us:

  • Ensure you've checked your email spam/junk box. Because these emails are sent from no-reply address, email providers may categorize them as junk mail.

  • Sometimes, these messages are filtered into folders previously set up in email accounts, or they're deleted automatically. Check any relevant folders.

  • Search your inbox for "[email protected]".

  • Check your email settings to be sure the address [email protected] is whitelisted, a firewall isn't blocking us, or there isn't some server issue.

If you've tried all of these options, and you're still having trouble receiving export emails, please contact our team โ€“ we'd be happy to assist!
