Troubleshooting Delivery

<Callout variant="warning" title="Not Receiving Emails?">
Common issues and solutions:

- Mark as "Not Spam" and add to safe senders

2. Verify Email Status

- Go to statusfield.com/integrations > Email
- Look for "Pending" badge > click (⋮) > Resend Verification

3. Corporate Email Filters

- Some organizations may delay delivery due to spam filters. Wait a few minutes and check your spam/junk folder.
- Some organizations (especially with Mimecast, Proofpoint) block automated emails
- Contact your IT department to whitelist send.statusfield.com
- Try adding a personal email (Gmail, Outlook) as backup

4. Email Forwarding Rules

- Check if you have filters that auto-archive or delete automated emails
- Ensure Statusfield emails aren't being automatically filtered

5. Inbox Full

- If your mailbox is full, you won't receive new emails
- Clear space and try sending a test email

Overview

Statusfield supports two types of Slack integration:

1. OAuth Channels (Recommended) - Connect your Slack workspace and select channels from a list
2. Incoming Webhooks - Use Slack webhook URLs for simple one-way notifications

<Callout variant='info' title='Which Method Should I Use?'>
  OAuth is recommended for most users - it's easier to set up, more
  reliable, and allows you to pick channels from a list. Use webhooks only if
  you need to send notifications to external Slack workspaces you don't control.
