Are email replies shown in Brokerkit?

Email Replies in BrokerKit Yes! Email replies are fully supported in BrokerKit. When someone replies to an email you sent through BrokerKit, the reply can appear directly in your BrokerKit inbox — but only if email forward logging is set up. Why Aren't My Email Replies Showing in the Inbox? This is one of the most common questions we get. If your campaign emails and notifications show that contacts are reading your emails, but you don't see their replies in your BrokerKit inbox, the issue is almost always email forward logging — not your campaigns or email sending. Important distinction: - Email forward logging — Captures incoming replies and displays them in your BrokerKit inbox. This is what makes replies visible. - BCC logging — Captures outgoing emails you send and logs them to the contact's timeline. BCC logging does NOT show replies in the inbox. Quick checklist: 1. ✅ Emails are sending (you see "read" notifications) → Your emails are working 2. ❌ Replies not in inbox → Enable email forward logging below Common scenario: You might think your campaign emails aren't sending because you don't see anything in the reports or inbox, but if notifications show people reading your emails, the emails ARE working. The missing piece is that replies aren't being captured because email forward logging isn't configured.

Email Deliverability Troubleshooting

Email Deliverability Troubleshooting If your recruits aren't receiving your BrokerKit emails, or if emails are landing in spam, follow this troubleshooting guide. This article covers deliverability for all emails you send through BrokerKit — individual one-off emails, bulk emails, and automated campaign emails. Think you're looking for something else? - [Sending Individual Emails] — how to compose and send - [Using engagement tracking with your leads and agents] — open and click tracking - [My Campaign Emails and Texts are not sending] — scheduling/send issues specific to campaigns Why Is My Email Not Delivered or Not Arriving? If you're wondering why your email didn't get delivered, why an email is not arriving, or why the recipient didn't get the email, the causes below cover every scenario. Keywords for this troubleshooting article: email not delivered, email not arriving, recipient didn't get email, email bounced, email went to spam, email stuck. Quick Checklist: Why Didn't My Email Get Delivered? Start here. Most email-not-delivered tickets come down to one of these: | Symptom | Most likely cause | |---|---| | Email bounced back | Invalid / typo'd recipient address, or recipient's inbox is full | | Email went to spam folder | Sending domain isn't authenticated (SPF / DKIM / DMARC) | | Recipient unsubscribed previously | Suppression list — BrokerKit won't re-send | | Email stuck "Scheduled" | Campaign paused, user's send window closed, or account has a send cap | | Email never appears anywhere | Sender's email provider blocked the send — check Gmail / Outlook "sent" folder | 1. Confirm the Email Was Actually Sent Before assuming a deliverability problem, verify BrokerKit dispatched the email: 1. Open the recruit's contact profile → Messages tab. 2. Find the email. It should show a status like Sent, Delivered, Opened, or Bounced. 3. If the status is Failed or Bounced, you'll see the reason (e.g., mailbox full, invalid address). See [Using engagement tracking with your leads and agents] for a full reference on email status indicators. 2. Check for Bounces and Invalid Addresses Hard bounces (invalid address, domain doesn't exist) will be flagged on the contact. BrokerKit will stop sending to that address until you correct it. - Open the contact profile → Personal Details → Email. - Look for a ⚠️ warning next to the address. - Correct the typo or replace with a current email, then save. Soft bounces (mailbox temporarily full, server issue) will retry automatically. If they persist, treat as a hard bounce. 3. Check the Recipient's Spam Folder The single most common deliverability complaint ("didn't get my email") is actually an email sitting in Spam / Junk / Promotions. Ask the recipient to search their email for "brokerkit" or your sending domain, including the spam folder. Prevent future spam routing If a recipient repeatedly finds BrokerKit emails in spam, ask them to: 1. Mark one of your emails as "Not Spam" in Gmail / Outlook. 2. Add your sending address (e.g., yourname@yourbrokerage.com) to their contacts. 3. Reply to one of your emails — most providers whitelist addresses the user has replied to. 4. Verify Your Sending Domain Authentication Emails from unauthenticated domains land in spam. BrokerKit supports three standards, all of which should be configured on your custom sending domain: - SPF — tells receiving servers that BrokerKit is authorized to send mail for your domain. - DKIM — cryptographically signs your emails so receivers can verify authenticity. - DMARC — policy that tells receivers what to do when SPF/DKIM checks fail. How to check your setup 1. Go to Account Settings → Email Sending Domains. 2. Each configured domain shows its SPF / DKIM / DMARC status (green ✓ or red ✗). 3. If any are red, click the domain for the DNS records you need to add at your domain registrar. See Configuring Email Sending Domains and Implementing DMARC for step-by-step setup. If you haven't set up a custom sending domain BrokerKit will send from a shared noreply address, which works but has lower deliverability and some providers may filter more aggressively. For serious outreach, set up your own domain. 5. Check the Suppression / Unsubscribe List If a contact unsubscribed from your emails — even accidentally — BrokerKit won't send them further emails. - Open Account Settings → Unsubscribes (or check the contact's profile for an unsubscribe flag). - See How to Identify Unsubscribed Contacts in Your Email List for how to review and re-subscribe. 6. Check Your Account Sending Limits To protect sender reputation, BrokerKit applies volume limits: - Bulk emails — throttled based on your domain reputation and subscription tier. - Campaigns — respect the campaign's configured send window and per-day cap. - Individual emails — no per-day cap, but very high volumes may trigger anti-spam review. If large sends stall, wait a few hours and retry, or stagger across days. 7. When to Contact Support Contact BrokerKit support if: - Your sending domain shows SPF/DKIM/DMARC as ✓ but emails still route to spam for many recipients. - You're seeing a high bounce rate (> 5%) on a known-good list. - Individual emails show a Failed status with no clear reason. - You need help interpreting a DMARC aggregate report. Include the recipient email address, the timestamp of the send, and a screenshot of the email status in the contact profile.

How Do I Find Who Received My Bulk Email or Campaign?

How Do I Find Who Received My Bulk Email or Campaign? Covers: find bulk email recipients, see who I sent bulk email to, verify bulk email sent, find campaign recipients without names, check if my blast email went out, how to find contacts I emailed without knowing names, last activity filter not showing bulk emails. Short answer: First confirm whether you selected the full list or only the current page. If you checked the page checkbox but did not click Select all [total] records, Brokerkit sends only the contacts visible on that page (10, 25, 50, or 100 depending on your page size). To send to everyone in the filtered list, click Select all [total] records before Send Email. After sending, use the Notification Center, the Engagement filter, and a few contact profiles under the Email tab/activity timeline to confirm the email appears and see statuses. For campaigns, you can also use the Campaigns filter or check the Campaign Reporting tab. The Last Activity filter will NOT work for bulk/campaign emails — it only tracks individual emails, texts, calls, and notes. If you sent an email to hundreds or thousands of contacts and need to verify it went out or find who received it — without knowing individual names — use these methods based on how you sent it: If you sent via a Smart Campaign: 1. Go to Campaigns in the left sidebar and find your campaign by name 2. Click the Reporting tab to see aggregate stats (enrolled, sent, opened, clicked) 3. Use the Campaigns filter in Advanced Search to see all contacts enrolled in that campaign 4. Use the Engagement filter → Email Opens or Email Clicks with a time period to find everyone who engaged If you sent as a Bulk/Blast Email: 1. Confirm the selection scope. The header checkbox selects only the contacts currently visible on the page. If the page size is 10, 25, 50, or 100 and you do not click Select all [total] records, the bulk email goes only to that visible page selection. 2. If you meant to email everyone in the filtered list, click Select all [total] records before clicking Send Email. 3. Check the Notification Center (bell icon, top right) for send confirmations from your bulk send. 4. Open a few contacts from the intended recipient list and look under the Email tab/activity timeline to confirm the email appears and see its status. 5. Use the Engagement filter in Advanced Search: - Select Email Opens or Email Clicks to find everyone who opened or clicked your email - Set the time period to match when you sent the email (e.g., 7 days if sent this week) 6. Note: Bulk email recipients cannot be found via the Last Activity filter because bulk emails don't update the Last Activity date If you sent individual 1-on-1 emails: 1. Use the Last Activity filter with a date range matching when you sent the emails 2. Individual emails sent from a contact profile DO update the Last Activity date For text messages (all types): 1. Texts (individual, bulk, and campaign) DO update the Last Activity date 2. Use the Last Activity filter with a date range, OR 3. Use the Engagement filter → Text Replies to find contacts who responded Why doesn't the Last Activity filter show my bulk email recipients? Bulk and campaign emails are deliberately excluded from the Last Activity date. If they were included, sending a blast to 4,000 contacts would set everyone's Last Activity to the same timestamp, making the filter useless for tracking meaningful 1-on-1 interactions. Instead, use the Engagement filter (which tracks opens, clicks, and replies) or the Campaigns filter. Note on the Engagement filter: The Engagement filter shows contacts who opened or clicked — not everyone who received the email. Some recipients may have received it but not opened it yet. To spot-check whether a specific contact was included, open that contact profile and review the Email tab/activity timeline. To see overall delivery stats (sent, delivered, bounced), check the Campaign Reporting tab for campaigns, or the Notification Center for bulk sends. 💡 Tip: If you run the same engagement query often — for example, "everyone who opened my last bulk email" — save it as a Saved Search so you don't have to rebuild the filter every time. See Segmenting your Data with Advanced Search/Filter for how to save and reuse searches.
