About Email Statuses

In Unite, emails have two types of statuses – an email sent status and an email publish status. The email sent status lets you know if an email message was successfully sent to the intended recipients. The publish status lets you know if the email record has been checked for errors and can be included in customer journeys.

About email sent statuses

When you send email messages from Unite, the message goes into a queue to be sent with other email messages in intervals. You can see the status of sent emails in the following places:

  • PEOPLE area > [person record] > Activity Log area > Communication tab

  • UTILITIES area > Email Sent tab > [email name] > Email Recipients window

  • JOURNEYS area > Marketing Emails > Unite Emails system view > [email record] > Insights tab > Delivery tab > Delivery details area

  • JOURNEYS area > Contacts > [contact name] > Timeline area

The following table provides a description of the sent statuses for email messages.
