Viewing Email Delivery Status for Attendees and Speakers

Written by Benjamin Dell

HeySummit shows recipient delivery issues in Registration & Attendees > Attendees and Content & Schedule > Presenters. Use Email & SMS > Delivery Logs > Email for individual messages.


​

Red email issues

An attendee's red Email issue can indicate a hard bounce, complaint or rejection. A hard bounce usually means a permanent delivery failure; a complaint means the email was reported as spam. HeySummit excludes blocked recipients from future event email attempts to protect sending reputation. Presenters show delivery issues in their Issues summary.


​

Yellow email issues

A yellow Potential email issue means a soft bounce or temporary delivery problem. Examples include a full inbox or a temporarily unavailable mail server. Amazon SES can retry before reporting a final bounce. A soft-bounce flag alone does not block later HeySummit email attempts, but it does not guarantee successful delivery.


​

Find the affected records

In Registration & Attendees > Attendees, open Filter records and use Has Email Issues?. Hover over a status for its explanation. The attendee tooltip can describe a general delivery block rather than identify the exact cause.


​

Current Attendees report search and Filter records controls


​

For recent messages, open Email & SMS > Delivery Logs > Email. Search by email or subject, or open Filter records and select a Status. The list covers the last 14 days. Failed concerns a specific email that could not be sent; it is not the same as a recipient-level delivery block.


​

Current Delivery Logs Status filter options


​

The Delivered label means the message was sent without a recorded bounce in this view. It does not prove that it reached the inbox or that the recipient read it.


​

Check sender setup and test delivery

For a custom sender, complete its email-address verification and domain-authentication checks under Email & SMS > Emails > Manage senders in the toolbar menu. DKIM alone is not the whole readiness check; the configured sending domain must also pass the required mail-from and DMARC checks.


​

To send a copy to your own dashboard-user address, open the email row's Actions > Send test. Use previewing for a no-send content check. A test send does not override an account-wide sending pause.

For the provider's bounce definitions, see how email sending works in Amazon SES.
