At Sydnee, we understand that reliable email communication is essential for maintaining smooth operations and client satisfaction. That’s why we’ve been diligently optimizing our email systems to ensure maximum deliverability, maintain clean sending domains, and provide transparency when issues arise.

Here’s everything you need to know about recent updates and how our system supports your business.

Key Features of Sydnee’s Email System

Our email system is designed to provide clarity and control over your communication. Here are the highlights:

Login Code Delivery

Login codes are always delivered, even if a user has opted out of emails. These are considered “transactional” since the email is only sent when requested. If your clients are having issues receiving these codes, we recommend checking the email history log to see if there are any issues on Sydnee’s side.

Account Access Alerts

A tooltip displays a message stating, ‘The email address associated with this user has opted out of emails from Sydnee. They will still receive login codes, but all other notifications are disabled.’ The status ‘Last Seen: Never’ is visible, along with a red exclamation mark icon indicating the opt-out status.

If a client opts out of emails, a red exclamation mark appears next to their name in the “Account Access” panel, providing immediate visibility.


Opt-Out Notification in Email Logs

The email, sent to connorbearse@gmail.com from no-reply@portalcomms.com with the subject ‘Social Pulse Strategies has granted you access to their online portal!’, is marked with a red error dot. The ‘Initial Mailer System Response’ shows the reason for the failure: ‘Message not sent, email has been unsubscribed.’ The log also displays the JSON payload of the email under ‘What we sent,’ including the recipient, sender, and environment details.

Emails sent to opted-out recipients are marked with a red dot in the email log. Clicking on the entry provides the exact reason for the opt-out.

Detailed Event History

Screenshot of an email delivery event log from Sydnee showing details about a notification email sent to evedoodle@gmail.com. The email, sent from no-reply@activenative.org, informs the recipient that ‘Connor Bearse commented on Delete Eric’s account’ with the subject line ‘Sydnee’. The event history includes timestamps for when the email was processed, delivered, and opened, displayed as ‘Processed’ at 9:22:34 AM, ‘Delivered’ at 9:22:36 AM, and ‘Open’ at 10:00:43 AM.

Sydnee provides a comprehensive email history report, offering insights into every email’s journey, including:

• Processing status: Understand when an email is being prepared for delivery.

• Delivery status: Confirm that emails reach the intended inbox.

• Engagement tracking: View when emails are opened and links are clicked.

These details are available to help you troubleshoot and track the effectiveness of your email communications effortlessly.

Successful emails feature an event history, showing processing time, delivery status, and client engagement (opens and clicks).

Branded Unsubscribe Page

Clients can opt out of automated notifications using a branded unsubscribe page within your portal. Backend users can manage their email settings directly at Email Settings or unsubscribe without logging in at Unsubscribe Here.

Re-enabling Emails

Screenshot of the Email Notifications settings in Sydnee showing a toggle option labeled ‘Receive Emails From Sydnee.’ This global setting determines whether emails are sent to connorbearse@gmail.com for any reason. The toggle is switched on. Below, individual account settings are listed, including ‘Alcatraz Escape Games,’ with an option to enable or disable ‘Task Updates’ notifications, which is currently checked.

Backend users can re-enable email notifications anytime via the settings page. If a client needs to reverse an unsubscribe, reach out to our support team for assistance.
