Common Issues & Troubleshooting #
Emails Going to Spam #
Solution: Verify your domain with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records, maintain a clean email list and remove bounces, avoid spam trigger words in subject and content, ensure consistent sending volume, use a reputable email provider, and warm up new domains gradually.
SMS Not Delivering #
Solution: Verify phone numbers are in correct international format (+1234567890), check sender ID is registered if required, ensure SMS credits are sufficient, confirm recipient hasn’t opted out, verify carrier supports SMS in target region, and check for content that might be filtered as spam.
Low Email Open Rates #
Solution: Improve subject lines to be more compelling, optimize send timing for your audience, segment your list for relevance, remove inactive subscribers, ensure sender name is recognizable, test different content approaches, and personalize messages with recipient data.
Push Notifications Not Showing #
Solution: Verify browser supports notifications, check that user granted permission, ensure form is served over HTTPS, confirm notification settings are enabled in FORMEPIC, test in different browsers, and verify service worker is properly configured.
High Bounce Rates #
Solution: Implement double opt-in for email collection, validate email addresses in real-time, remove hard bounces immediately, use email verification services, maintain list hygiene, avoid purchased email lists, and monitor bounce rates by provider.
Authentication Errors #
Solution: Verify API credentials are correct and haven’t expired, check that account status is active, ensure proper permissions are set, re-authorize OAuth connections if needed, and confirm IP whitelisting if required.
Message Formatting Issues #
Solution: Test messages across different email clients and devices, use responsive email templates, avoid complex HTML in SMS, check that merge tags populate correctly, preview before sending, and use plain text fallbacks for email.
Delivery Delays #
Solution: Check provider status for any outages, verify rate limits aren’t being hit, optimize content size and complexity, consider switching to a faster provider, implement queueing for large volumes, and monitor provider SLAs.
