Troubleshooting email verification issues

Edited

Verifying your email address is a required step when:

  • Creating a new Flodesk account

  • Adding a custom domain sender email under My Account > Email setup

Usually, the verification email arrives within a few minutes. But if it doesn’t—or if the verification link doesn’t work—this guide will help you troubleshoot the most common issues.

Didn’t Receive the Verification Email?

If the verification email hasn’t arrived after a few minutes, follow these steps:

1. Check all email folders

  • Look in Spam, Junk, Promotions, and Social tabs

  • If you use Gmail or Outlook, try searching your inbox for “Flodesk” or “verify”

2. Add Flodesk to your safe senders list

Some email providers filter out unknown or system-generated messages.

To prevent this:

  • Add help@flodesk.com to your email contacts or safe senders list

  • This increases the chance of future messages landing in your inbox

3. Resend the verification email

After adding Flodesk to your contacts:

  • Go back to My Account > Email setup in Flodesk

  • Click Resend verification email

This will send a new message to the email address you’re trying to verify.

Verification Link Isn’t Working?

If you received the email but the link won’t open or gives an error, try these steps:

1. Clear your browser cache

Browser issues are often caused by outdated cache files. Clear your browser cache and cookies, then request a new verification email and try again.

2. Open the link from your mobile device

If the link still doesn’t work:

  • Open the verification email on your phone

  • Turn off Wi-Fi and open the link using your mobile data

This can help bypass overly strict network or Wi-Fi filters.
