๐Ÿ“ง I Sent a Test Email or Invitation, but Never Received It. Why?

Our system blocks test emails for incomplete websites because they get flagged by spam filters and become undeliverable.

If you didnโ€™t receive your test email or invitation, itโ€™s likely due to an incomplete website setup. Emails from incomplete event sites are often flagged by spam filters and blocked from delivery.

โœ‰๏ธ How to Send a Test Email:

To see exactly what your guests will receive:

  • Add yourself to the Attendee List

  • Go to Emails/Invites > Send New Email

  • Choose your email template

  • Select yourself as the recipient
    This shows the actual data merge and formatting your guests will experience.


โœ… What to Do If Email is Not Received:

  1. Complete your event website โ€“ Add essential content like event name, date, and details.

  2. Check your spam, junk, or promotions folders โ€“ Test emails may be filtered, especially if itโ€™s your first time using Happenly.

  3. Try resending the test email once the website is complete.

๐Ÿ“Š Check Email Stats

To confirm if the email was successfully sent:

  1. Go to Emails/Invites > Email Stats

  2. Click View next to the relevant email to see open rates, bounce status, etc.

You can also track email activity per guest:

  • Go to the Attendee List

  • Scroll right to view email status columns (sent, opened, bounced)
