Written by Caroline Tyrko

Where to find email statuses?

  2. Check the Status column — email status appears as an icon next to each recipient.


What do the statuses mean?

The color of an icon under the Status tab tells you about the success or failure of a particular process.

Explanation

Email is not sent

The delivery email is not sent. It applies to draft credentials, scheduled credentials, and published credentials you chose not to email.

Email is not provided

The delivery email is not sent due to a lack of email address.

Sending

The email will be sent shortly. If sent successfully, the status will change to "not opened".

Email is not opened

The email was successfully sent, but it was not yet opened by the recipient.

Email is bounced

The delivery email was bounced and could not be delivered.*

Email is opened

The delivery email was successfully sent, and it was opened by the recipient.

* To see the reason for a bounce, hover over or click the bounced icon on the credential. Certifier will display the bounce reason (e.g., invalid address, full mailbox, domain rejection), which can help you decide whether to correct the email address and resend, or contact the recipient through another channel.

💡 These statuses refer to the email only. For credential views and engagement, see our Guide to Statuses.

Congratulations! You have just learned how to track the email status of the credentials you issued! 🤓


Quick Tips

What to do if the email bounced?

To find out why an email bounced, hover over or click the bounced status icon on the credential. The bounce reason is displayed there – for example, whether the address doesn't exist, the mailbox is full, or the domain is blocking delivery. This can help you decide whether to correct the address or take a different approach.

If several recipients from the same company/domain are bouncing, ask their IT to allowlist [email protected] (or your custom sender) and try to resend again.

What to do if the email is delivered, but not opened?

If the credentials were just sent, give your recipients more time. After some time passes, nudge the recipient by resending the email.

What to do if the email is not sent?

If you have provided email addresses for your recipients and the delivery email was not sent, there's a chance you chose not to send emails while issuing.

No worries - you can always send the email by using the resend option.
