Emails Not Arriving

Problem: Emails not showing up in Slack/Discord

  1. Check MX records are configured correctly
  2. Wait 30 minutes for DNS propagation
  3. Verify webhook URL is correct in integration settings
  4. Check alias is active and linked to correct integration
  5. Test with: dig MX yourdomain.com

Problem: MX records not updating

Solution:

  • Remove old MX records before adding new ones
  • Clear local DNS cache: ipconfig /flushdns (Windows) or sudo dscacheutil -flushcache (Mac)
  • Check propagation at MXToolbox.com
  • Contact your DNS provider support

Problem: Emails going to spam

Solution:

  • Add SPF record: v=spf1 include:spf.resend.dev ~all
  • Configure DKIM for domain authentication
  • Set up DMARC policy
  • Ask recipients to whitelist your domain

Webhook Issues

  2. Check webhook wasn't deleted in Slack settings
  3. Recreate webhook if it was regenerated
  4. Test webhook manually with curl:
bash
curl -X POST https://hooks.slack.com/services/YOUR/WEBHOOK/URL \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"text":"Test message"}'

Solution:

Solution:

  • Normal delivery: 2-5 seconds

Solution:
