How do you know if emails are going into spam?

Hey @gemmatoys,

Adding to @bluesnapper’s already great suggestion, although there is not way to conclusively know where your emails are landing, you can always leverage third-party monitoring tools to give you a better picture. 

I would recommend checking out the tools from the list below found in our Third-party deliverability monitoring tools reference Help Center article:

• Google Postmaster Tools

Postmaster Tools helps align your sending with Gmail’s best practices, track whether or not your emails are securely sent, and monitor how many are delivered successfully or marked as spam.

I would suggest Google Postmaster Tools to start. Google is a really popular email client and a postmaster account is free to set up. If you want an in-depth look, try something like Litmus to run a full spam report and see if anyone is flagging your domain as spam. 

Hey @gemmatoys ,

• How’d you come to know that your emails are landing into your customer’s inbox?
• Did you notice a drop in your engagement metric - drop in opens, increase in bounces or spam complaints?
• Is the issue happening across all mailbox providers or specific one?
• Have you tried testing on some sample test ids (excluding the one that you use frequently)?
• As suggested above, how is sender reputation on GPT?

As a first step, let’s try to triage on the above and we can go to the next step in this process. Sounds good?

To piggyback off this comment - is there a way to use this for clients other than getting them to set it up and providing access? It seems like something that only works on a singular domain.
