Why is a member not getting emails?

There are several reasons why a member may not be receiving emails. Some of these can be addressed in GymMaster, while others may be outside our control.

 

Step 1: Check the Member’s Email Details

First, confirm the member has a valid email address entered in their profile:
Navigate to the Member’s profile > Details > Contact > Email

Also ensure they are subscribed to receive emails:
Navigate to the Member’s profile > Details > Contact > Subscriptions

 

Step 2: Check the Communication Tab

Go to the member’s Communication tab and look for the email in question.

  • If the email is not listed: This means no attempt has been made to send it to this member (either manually or automatically).

  • If the email is listed with no error icon: This means the email was sent successfully from GymMaster. If it hasn’t been received, it may have gone to their spam folder or been blocked by their email provider.

  • If the email is listed with an error icon: Hover over the icon to see more details. This will tell you why the email was not sent, or why it bounced back.

 

Step 3: Check the Email Status in Reports

To review the status of emails sent to any member:
Navigate to : Report & Till > Standard Report > Retention > Communication Sent

 

Common External Issues

Even if GymMaster successfully sends an email, delivery can fail for reasons outside our control, including:

  • The email being flagged as spam

  • The recipient’s mailbox being full

  • The email server rejecting the message due to security or policy settings
