Correct settings for Action User - Notify admin upon new event submission?

What are the correct settings for Action User – Notify admin upon new event submission? All emails for Apple, Google and private server go directly to spam/archive folders. I added the from email address into contacts and marked them “not spam”, but nothing helps. How do I get this fixed?

      Hello,

      I don’t think this is related to Action User or EventON, I am afraid.

      When you directly send an email from @readingpubliclibrary.com, does it go to spam as well?

    • Artem Mar 28,2024 AT 4:08AM - Posted 1 year ago - #347199

      I took emails from “Email address to send notification. (eg. you@domain.com)” and added them to our site and submitted an event. Could you check if the email also went to the spam folder?

    • Brad Grier Mar 28,2024 AT 6:42AM - Posted 1 year ago - #347279

      Yes, it looks like 2 and they both went straight to spam.

      Just checking to see if any progress has been made with this. Thanks.

    • Artem Apr 4,2024 AT 1:57PM - Posted 1 year ago - #348867

      Still working on the issue. We are sorry for the delay.

    • Ashan Perera Apr 10,2024 AT 2:29PM - Posted 1 year ago - #349924

      So we have been testing. And in gmail, if you get the email in spam folder. You get this option to “Report not spam” and once you click that the admin notification email comes to inbox next time with no issues. 

      Are you able to try something similar on your mail clients?

    • Brad Grier Apr 11,2024 AT 2:29PM - Posted 1 year ago - #350127

      It’s not even showing up anymore. Do I have the settings right? Is that the problem?

    • Artem Apr 12,2024 AT 4:54AM - Posted 1 year ago - #350166

      I just performed the updates for both.

    • Ashan Perera Apr 12,2024 AT 11:14AM - Posted 1 year ago - #350229

      With latest versions are you not getting anything? 

      Settings should look something like this. with Notify admin upon new event submission turned on.

    • Ashan Perera Apr 12,2024 AT 3:32PM - Posted 1 year ago - #350314

      That looks fine. I wonder if the to and from both having same domain might be causing an issue.. is it possible to try a different domain email?

    • Brad Grier Apr 15,2024 AT 7:32PM - Posted 1 year ago - #350681

      I just switched the sending email to a different address. I’ll see if that works.

    • Artem Apr 16,2024 AT 3:09AM - Posted 1 year ago - #350751

      Perfect! Please keep us updated.

    • Brad Grier Apr 17,2024 AT 9:10AM - Posted 1 year ago - #351031

      Still go right to spam even though I mark them not spam.

    • Ashan Perera Apr 22,2024 AT 1:17PM - Posted 1 year ago - #351579

      Brad I which email client are you using? I wonder if its a problem with the mail client? if an address is marked as NOT spam and still get sent there, makes me think must be a fault in the mail clients filtering system… 

      Is it possible to switch to another mail client and try?

    • Brad Grier Apr 22,2024 AT 7:31PM - Posted 1 year ago - #351602

      I use Apple Mail day-to-day, but I also checked it on the web in gmail.

      Any other thoughts?

    • Ashan Perera Apr 26,2024 AT 12:24PM - Posted 1 year ago - #352139

      Brad I am not an expert in mail clients. But don’t you think if you tell the mail client this is not a spam email, it should put it in inbox?

      I know with google’s gmail you can add inbox filters so if email with certain address move it directly to main inbox. 

      Perhaps you can create a gmail account and use that email and try out?

    • Brad Grier Apr 27,2024 AT 10:44AM - Posted 1 year ago - #352256

      I’m not either, but I have a google address that I am recieving the notifications to and marked them as not spam and set up actions to keep/move those emails to the inbox – And it doesn’t do it. I do get other email from the sending addresses that I have tried and they com through to my inbox – just for some reason the ones from coming from the plugin notifications do not. I don’t know what to do at this point except give up on it.

      I have done aq bit of research into emails and spam

      things that effect emails going into spam:

      1: content of the email

      2: domain name of the email 

      3: sending and recieving from the same email address (sending to yourself try sending from noreply@

      4:reputation of domain name is a big one

      5:shared server reputation if the email is coming from a server that is shared and is known for dodgy websites this will effect the email
      6: sending from a wordpress website- yep can be a problem

      what I don’t see on your website is an SMTP plugin which changes the way emails are sent and changes it from being a wordpress email to the smtp settings you use- theres plenty of free ones out there on the repository

      also check 

      • Review your junk mail settings in the Junk Mail pane of Mail preferences, as well as any rules you might have created to handle junk mail, and make changes as necessary.”

        there may be a word that is simply sending it to jusnk even if you have allowed the email adfdress

    • Artem Oct 3,2024 AT 1:52PM - Posted 8 months ago - #365931

      Could you try updating EventON to 4.6.8?

      Next please install and configure SMPT plugin and try to send emails again:
