A large number of factors influence the successful delivery of emails. On rare occasions that an email does not reach one or more of the intended recipients, mail servers may provide error responses to indicate the nature of the error. These can be due to issues such as an incorrect domain, an invalid email address, or problems with server connectivity.
Freshdesk’s 'Email Delivery Failure Notification' feature sends notifications to corresponding agents to take corrective actions when replies or forwards do not reach the recipients. Further, these errors are visible as a part of the ticket conversation and also in the ticket activities view.
Please follow the steps below to set up 'Email Delivery Failure Notification' in your Freshdesk account.
