Hello, over the last couple of days the option to login to Epicollect using a magic link sent by e-mail hasn’t been working reliably. It’s previously been fine for the past several months. Now, when I request a login email, I get the message that an email has been sent, but nothing is recieved. The email to add the same e-mail address to the Epicollect Community watch list is working fine, it’s just loging on to Epicollect itself that doesn’t seem to generate an e-mail.
Hi,
have you tried a different email just for testing?
maybe it went to the spam folder?
we had 200+ logins over email in February. Sometimes a low percentage of emails are not sent, but it looks like it is all good on our side.
I can logon using a Google account if needs be. Yesterday I received an email eight hours after the logon request was submitted. I’m never too sure how to read e-mail headers, but I think the following suggests the problem area. I’ve replaced my email address with *.*s (which I see have been removed in this post, leaving .@.).

We are using a popular third-party service for our emails needs. (Mailgun)
Unfortunately, we do not have any control over it aside from whitelisting our domains.
If more people start having this type of issue, we will open a ticket with them.
Yesterday’s email logon attempt was delayed by four hours by the mailgun service. For users, like me, with an alternative logon method, that isn’t a big problem. For users who don’t have an alternative logon method, you may just not hear from them.
Reading about mailgun, adding a delay is something they do if a service user is has a high “spammyness index”. Raising a ticket with mailgun should resolve the issue.
Relevant email header detail is below:
