Troubleshooting

A reply I received doesn't show in Outfound

Replies are captured through the MX record on the reply subdomain; a missing record, a reply to another address or a new email can stop it showing.

Outfound captures replies through the MX record you added for your domain's reply subdomain and links them to the conversation of the email you sent. If a reply is missing:

  1. MX record: make sure the MX record is verified on Sending › Domains. Without it, replies don't reach Outfound.
  2. Where the reply went: if the person started a new email instead of replying, or wrote to another address, it may not link to the conversation.
  3. Forwarding and aliases: rules on the recipient's side that forward mail to another mailbox can break the match.
  4. Unmatched replies: replies that can't be linked to a conversation are shown separately in the CRM as Unmatched.

A copy of each reply is also forwarded to Forward replies to in the sender profile; you can check there.

If the problem continues, share the sender's address and the date of the reply in the support chat.
