Check the Email Notification’s Recipients

By default, notification emails go to your account email address. If you assigned or added a custom recipient, ensure it is entered correctly. See How to Change the Email Address Used for Notification Email for more information.

Check Your Spam or Junk Folder

Emails can end up in spam for various reasons. Check your spam or junk folder and mark the Jotform notification emails you find as “not spam.” If you’re using Gmail, creating filters can prevent emails from being incorrectly classified as spam. See How to Prevent Emails From Landing in Gmail’s Spam Folder to learn more.

Check if Your Email is on the Bounce List

Jotform will stop sending emails to email addresses added to the bounce list. Go to Account Settings and ensure your email is not on the bounce list. See How to Remove Your Email Address From the Bounce List to learn more.

Add Jotform to Your Whitelist

You can contact your email service provider or set up your email server to accept emails coming from Jotform. Whitelisting Jotform can improve your email deliverability and help your messages reach the inbox. See Whitelisting Jotform IP Addresses and Domains for more information.

Contact Support

If everything else fails, you can contact Jotform Support and request a copy of the email server logs. Include the URL of your form and the email address involved in your request. Once you have the logs, you can contact your hosting provider with the email tracking ID to track and further troubleshoot the emails.
