1. Why are my emails scheduled for next week?
There is a fixed gap of 3m45s between each email. This measure is in place to prevent your emails from being flagged as spam by avoiding sending out too many emails in a short period.
When multiple mailings are running simultaneously using the same Gmail account, this delay applies across all mailings. Consequently, your emails are queued and scheduled to be sent out later.
2. Can I change the time between each email delivery?
ππ» Gmail or Outlook Users:
No, you cannot change the time between each email delivery. There is a fixed gap of 3 minutes and 45 seconds between each email. This measure is in place to prevent your emails from being flagged as spam by avoiding sending out too many emails in a short period.
ππ» Upfluence Mailing Provider Users:
Similarly, you cannot alter the timeframe between emails. Upfluence automatically sends out emails every minute. This is designed to increase the deliverability rate and prevent emails from being flagged as spam.
In both cases, the set time intervals are integral to maintaining email deliverability and ensuring that your communications are not perceived as spam by email providers.
3. If I integrate multiple Gmail accounts and send mailings using different integrations, will the delay apply across all accounts, or can we send multiple mailings simultaneously?
We parallelize the scheduling per email address. This means if you have two email addresses, each will have its own individual scheduling.
4. My email were not sent without error messages
If your emails are not being sent and you're not receiving any error messages, there could be a couple of reasons behind this issue:
β Attached Files Size Limit:
βοΈ Gmail Users: Attachments over 10MB are not supported. If your email includes files larger than this limit, it will prevent the email from being sent.
βοΈ Outlook Users: The size limit for attachments is even smaller, at 3MB. Exceeding this limit will stop your email from being dispatched.
β Scheduled Emails:
If you notice your emails are scheduled for the 1st of the next month, it indicates you've reached a protective limit set on all accounts.
This measure is in place to prevent potential abuse or spamming behaviors. There's no need to worry; simply contact one of our support agents via the live chat and we will work to remove this limit at our earliest possibility, ensuring all your emails are sent as intended.
In either scenario, addressing the specific cause β whether it's reducing the size of attachments or contacting support to lift the protective limit β will help resolve the issue and ensure your emails are successfully sent.
5. But my emails are still not sent after thread limit increase by Upfluence Support Team?
If you've noticed that your emails are still not being sent out even after the Upfluence support team has increased your thread limit, here's what you need to do:
Pause and Restart Your Mailings: After any limit change, it's crucial to pause all ongoing mailings and then restart them.
Manage Multiple Mailings: If you have multiple mailings running simultaneously, ensure to pause all of them first. Once paused, restart these mailings in order of their priority.
By following these steps, your emails should start being sent out according to your new thread limits. If issues persist, contacting Upfluence support for further assistance is advisable.
6. Why am I not receiving influencer replies on my Upfluence Mailing Provider?
If you're using Upfluence as your mailing provider but aren't receiving replies from influencers in your own account, there are two primary reasons to consider:
β Email Is on a Bounce List:
This occurs if your inbox was unable to receive an email at least once, resulting in your email being added to a bounce list. This action prevents further emails from being delivered to your inbox. If you suspect this is the case, you should contact the support team to investigate and potentially remove your email from the bounce list.
β Issue with Large Attachments:
If only one specific reply hasn't shown up, it's possible the issue is related to the size of an attachment in the email. If the email contains an attachment that is too large for your inbox to support, it could prevent the email from being delivered. Review the size limits for attachments in your email settings to ensure compatibility.
5. Why didn't I see an influencer's reply in my Upfluence account?
If you received a reply from an influencer in your Gmail or Outlook but not in your Upfluence account, it's likely due to temporary delays. These can happen for several reasons, such as rate limitations or delays from Google's side.
However, these instances are rare. Upfluence has a system designed to automatically retrieve any missing or new emails after a few hours. This ensures all communications are accurately displayed in your Upfluence account. If the issue persists, please check again after some time or contact Upfluence support for further assistance.
7. Why are my emails still being sent to an influencer's previous email address after I updated it?
Emails will continue to be sent to an influencer's previous email address if you are using an existing email thread. To ensure emails are sent to the updated email address, you need to create a new email thread.
8. Can I change the email sender in a shared email thread?
No, you cannot change the sender in a shared email thread. Upfluence requires all emails to be in the same thread to display them correctly, which means the sender cannot be altered for individual emails within that thread.
9. Why do I get the error "Receiver email is invalid"?
This error occurs because the influencer's email address, or the email address before you changed it, does not contain a domain extension like ".com" (or something similar) or has a "hidden space" in it.
10. How can I fix the "Receiver email is invalid" error?
Ensure the email address is correctly updated on the influencer's profile, without hidden spaces and with a proper domain extension.
Create a new conversation to send your email. Simply clicking on retry with the corrected email address in the existing conversation will not work.
If the issue persists, contact support for technical assistance.
11. How can I avoid changing my email address every time I create a new mailing / campaign?
To avoid having to change your email address each time you create a new mailing campaign, follow these steps:
Go to your "Account Settings."
Scroll down to "Email Settings."
Select your personal business email as the "Default" option.
Make sure to save your changes.
By setting your personal business email as the default, it will automatically be used for new mailing campaigns, eliminating the need to change it manually.
12. How does the Upfluence mailing provider work?
The Upfluence mailing provider works by creating a new email address for each email thread initiated. When an influencer receives an email, it comes from an address that ends with @software.upfluence.co.
Similarly, when the influencer replies, their response is forwarded to the email address you used to log into your account.
The sender's address for these replies also ends with @software.upfluence.co, ensuring consistent communication tracking within the platform.
13. Can I change the email address used by the Upfluence mailing provider?
Yes, you can change the first part of the email address used by Upfluence's mailing provider by changing the email you use to log in. Upfluence generates a new email address for each email thread, using the first part of your login email and appending "_string of letters & numbers" + "@software.upfluence.co" to it.
However, once a campaign has started, you cannot change the email used to send emails. To use a new email, you must create a new campaign or new mailing.
Remember, the email sender cannot be changed once a mailing has begun.
14. If I open an influencer email through the mailing tool on Upfluence, will it show up as "read" on my Gmail inbox too?
No, it will not show up as "read" on your Gmail inbox if you open an influencer email through the mailing tool on Upfluence.
15. How are you able to track or confirm that an email was opened and read?
Tracking and confirming that an email was opened and read is possible because the email content includes a script that provides this information.
