Automated email not sending

Hi @hdorego

Hope this message finds you well.

Hustle will use the email function set in the site, usually WP mail if there is no SMTP set.

Are you able to get other site emails, like Reset Password or form submissions?
Could you test using an SMTP?

Let us know the results.

Best regards,
Laura

Hey Laura,

Thanks for your reply.

I do get other site emails without a problem. As for testing using SMTP, I’d be glad to do so, but will definitely need some help, as I am in no way a developer. ??

Is there a way you could help check this with me ?

Thanks in advance

Hi @hdorego

Thanks for the update.

We would like to take a look at your Pop-up first, could you export it using the gear >> Export option?

Once exported, please share it using a Cloud service like Google Drive, pastebin.com, or similar. If you have sensitive data, please duplicate the form, remove it, and export it.

Still, our Branda plugin has an SMTP feature, you will need an email account from where the emails will be sent, you will find how to set SMPT on this link: https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/branda/#smtp and how the connect most used email accounts on this link: https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/branda/#Additional-configuration-examples

Let us know your comments.

Best regards,

Hello @hdorego,

I hope things are going great for you.

I appreciate you for sharing the Popup export file. I could test the popup’s email functionality on my lab-site. Which works fine.

Can you please navigate to Hustle > Popup > edit Popup > Emails tab > Automated Email (ensure this option should be enabled) > Verify the recipient email. Additionally you can add your email by adding , add the email. When the visitor/user fills the data and submit the popup it will receive on both email.
By using this method we can verify if there are issue with specific email address or email functionality.

Additionally you can enable the Email logs by adding any of these free plugin available at the WordPress Repo. which can help to get more technical information.

After enabling the email logs plugin please conduct the first test and share the outcome with us.

Hello @wpmudev-support9,

Thanks for your prompt feedback.

I did everything you suggested, including adding my own email, as well as activating the email log plugin, but the result is the same. No automated email sent or received upon submission of the form. That is quite weird. I even tried it multiple times with different email addresses when filling the form, but it is the same.

Any other options ?

Hi @hdorego,

Sorry to hear about that, however, we aren’t able to replicate any such issue with the given export on our side. I also tested again and email does work out of the box.

Since it works fine on our side out of the box, it points the issue is site-specific. Could we know whether you have a staging site? If yes, possible to disable all the plugins except Hustle with a default WP theme in the staging and see how it behaves?

The above should help with ruling out what might be causing it. Please do let us know how that goes.

You can get in touch with your hosting provider to setup a staging or can refer to this for more info:

Hello @wpmudevsupport11,

I realized the test email 3 days ago did go through (see below), though it went to the spam folder.

Since it worked with our email directly, what is the problem then ?

Thank you agin for the help, and waiting for your reply.

Hi @hdorego

If you have an issue with not receiving emails to your email box, please do note that in general, the Hustle plugin only initiates the action of sending the email, It is your WordPress site that will be sending the email.

Having that in mind, WordPress uses the “wp_mail()” function which in most cases simply uses the standard PHP “mail()” function. However, depending on hosting settings sometimes you will need additional plugins like SMTP:
https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/easy-wp-smtp/

Now if you typed your email from your domain name where that popup is located your hosting can allow you to pass that email, however for 3rd party emails (not related to your domain) it can block them.

Can you let us know did you try already any SMTP solution? if now we strongly recommend this.

After you set up this plugin correctly let us know does that helped to solve your issue.

Kind Regards,
Kris

Hi @hdorego

Hello Patrick,

I am now realizing my reply wasn’t sent.

i noticed that the test email went through on October 31, when I added my email to the recipient email section, as you can see here. Just that it went to the spam folder.

Since it worked with my email, what can the issue be then ?

Thanks again for your reply.

Hi @hdorego

Since you received the test email on your account, but it isn’t working for others, there might be an email delivery issue. This is usually related to the filters set by your email provider.

To fix this issue you can contact your hosting provider and ask them to check the email logs on the server level to find more clues about the emails that are going through or use a custom email SMTP to improve the email deliverability and fix this issue.

You need to use a plugin like Branda or WP Mail SMTP to set up the email SMTP, and your hosting provider may be able to provide the SMTP credentials.
