In this article, learn more about troubleshooting:
Troubleshoot Emails Sent to You
Make sure email notifications are set up correctly
To start, go to the relevant event and check that you are set up to receive notifications when someone RSVPs.
Tip: If you are set up to receive email alerts daily, you will not receive a notification immediately each time a guest RSVPs.
Make sure your mailbox is working
Send yourself a test email to make sure that your email address is receiving regular emails.
Check to see if the alerts went to spam
Check to see if the email notification is in your spam / junk / bulk / promotions folder. If it is, make sure you whitelist the email address: wix-team@notifications.wix.com.
Tip: Try searching for missing emails using the wix-team@notifications.wix.com email addresses.
Make sure you're checking the correct email address
Email notifications are sent to the email address you entered in the General Info tab in your site's dashboard. To learn how to access the General Info tab or change the email address, click here.
Test sending alerts to another email address
For testing purposes, try changing your business email in general info settings, preferably under a different domain (for example, if it's a Gmail address, test one that is not Gmail). Then complete a test registration to check if you receive email notifications to the other email address.
Troubleshoot Emails Sent to Guests
Make sure default emails to guests are set up correctly
First, go to the relevant event and check that the default emails are set up correctly. Learn How
Ask your guest to check that the problem isn't on their end
If a guest informs you that they didn't receive emails about the event, check the following:
Spam: Ask your guest to check if the email notification is in their spam/junk/bulk/promotions folder. If it is, ask them to whitelist this email address: notifications@wixevents.com.
Mailbox not working: Ask your guest to make sure their email is working in general by trying to receive a test email.
Incorrect email: Ask your guests to make sure they are checking the email address they used to register for the event.
Test guest emails yourself
You can register for your own event to see if you receive the confirmation email. To make a test purchase for an event with tickets, you can use the manual payment method.
