How to view:
- CREATE A REPORT by going to the reports tab under resident’s report. Check the check box labeled ‘Email Issues’ and run the report. It will include a description of issues with emails.
- IN THE MESSAGE CENTER found under the view tab you can view a previously sent announcement or batch of messages. Here you can see the status of the communication, if an email bounced or was dropped. This is a great way to determine if someone is receiving an important message you just sent out.
- THE OCCUPANTS PAGE has a lot of data including bad or invalid emails. When scrolling through the list of residents if you notice the email icon is RED, that means the email is having issues.
4. OCCUPANTS PROFILE PAGE has detailed information on the resident including if and why an email is failing. This option is only recommended if you are looking for information on a specific residents’ email
status and not as a broad overview of all communication failures.
Testing:
- Attempt to contact the resident via an email message. If the email is fixed the email status in the message center should read ‘delivered’, ‘opened’, or ‘clicked’. If not please ask the resident to change their email address to one that is valid.
Tips:
- If a resident has a bad or invalid email address you can either change their email directly as a manager or ask them to sign into Pilera and change their email themselves.
