Not receiving all customer emails

Hi all! This is my first post in this community 👋🏻

Since we started with Intercom, we have had problems with customers saying that they have emailed us several times, but not receiving a reply. Some times, we have found out that they’ve misspelled the email or such. But recently, we have had several reports where they have emailed the correct address, but it hasn’t reached our inbox at Intercom. 

We have asked our tech team for support, but they can’t see no error on our side. The Fin AI-bot is just telling us to check our settings in our email domain. 

Has anyone else had this problem, and how did you fix it? This problem has made us start thinking about choosing another vendor at this point 🙈

Hi Emelie!

My first thought would be to check if automatic forwarding is working correctly. You would need to go to Settings>Channels>Email. Once on that page, check that the email that is causing issues says automatic forwarding is on. 

 

If it’s off, click the Edit button and follow the steps provided after clicking the Set up automatic forwarding button.

 

If it is on, it’s worth sending a test email by clicking the Edit button and then pressing the Send test email button.

 

Please let me know how it goes and I can provide further help!
