Not getting quote and message notifications?

There are a number of reasons why you could be having trouble receiving our email notifications.

Wrong email

Have you ever gotten any emails from us? If not, there may be an error in the email address you provided with your initial request or review. Notifications are sent to the same email address you use to log in to your account, so chances are if you aren't getting emails due to an incorrect email, you also aren't able to log in to your account. Contact us and we can check on it for you!

Gmail tabs

If you use Gmail as your email provider, your inbox may have multiple tabs where new emails will appear. Because of the nature of our emails, sometimes Gmail may determine them to be "Promotions" or "Updates" and automatically move them to one of those tabs, instead of your Primary inbox.

The next time you get a GigSalad email in the wrong tab, click and drag it to the Primary tab. At the top of the page, a message will appear to confirm that the email was moved. And then it will ask, "Do this for future messages from yourfriends@gigsalad.com?" Click "Yes" and hopefully all of our emails will now go to your Primary inbox page.

Spam

Unfortunately, in some cases, your email provider may consider our emails to be spam and send them to your Junk folder or block them altogether. One way to try and prevent this from happening is to whitelist our email addresses, which will add our emails to an approved list. The following email addresses should be whitelisted: events@gigsalad.com, gigs@gigsalad.com, and yourfriends@gigsalad.com.

If adding our email to your contacts does not work, you may need to contact your email service provider to see what the issue could be. Also, if you ever mark our emails as spam yourself, this will cause your email to be blacklisted, meaning no more emails will be sent to that address. If you fear this may have happened to you, please contact us.
