By default, all admins are subscribed to bounce notifications. A bounce is when any email you have sent to your attendees has failed to deliver.

Enabling bounce notifications

From the main sidebar on the left, navigate to Team > Admins and click Edit on an admin.

The bounce notification will be sent if it is present in this list and “enabled” is checked.

Add the “Bounced email” notification if it is not already present, and click save.

What a bounce notification looks like

Every bounce notification has an actionable link in it “Fix”, which will take you to a page to input an updated email address and/or name.

Monitoring and fixing bounces

Bounced emails can be easily fixed and automatically resent. We also update any relevant records for you too, for example: fixing a bounce for a “Ticket sent” email will also update the corresponding email address on the ticket.

Viewing bounces

From the Overview tab of an event, there is a pie chart that displays email delivery stats. Click the red action icon next to Failed delivery to open a popup listing each individual failed email. Then click the green Fix icon next to an email to provide a new email address and trigger another sending attempt.
