Not receiving Legatics emails

A step-by-step guide to resolving common issues with email notifications in Legatics

Updated over a week ago

Email notifications in Legatics keep participants informed about updates and assigned actions. If notifications aren’t being received, it’s often due to settings, permissions, or external email delivery issues.

This guide will help you troubleshoot these problems and identify when to contact support or escalate delivery issues with your organization’s IT team.

Note: It's rare that we can solve email delivery issues. In most cases, it's because of settings outside of our control.


Emails from matters

Check it's an email we send

Check to make sure the email you're expecting to get is an email we send.

Check personal email notification settings

You can control how often you receive certain notifications from matters. Check that you've got this turned on.

Verify matter-level email settings

For certain notifications to be sent for a matter, email notifications must be enabled for the matter. Check with the matter administrator that they're turned on.

Confirm permissions and tagging for status assignment summary email

The status assignment summary email will only include notifications if the user:

  1. is assigned to a status in a list; and

  2. has permission to view the list, row, or section where the status is set

Check that the assignment and permissions are correctly applied.


All emails

External email delivery issues are often beyond Legatics' control. But there are some simple steps you can do to try resolve delivery issues on your end.

Check spam or junk folders

Check your email spam or junk folder for notifications from Legatics.

Add to safe sender list

Request your IT team to whitelist emails from Legatics.

Note: Emails will come from different addresses, depending on the instance you're working in. Contact us to get the emails to add to the safe sender list.

Review firewall and email filters

Get your IT team to verify that our email addresses are not blocked by your email firewall or spam filter.

Check your email server logs

Ask your IT team to review email server logs to identify if emails from our email addresses were received but flagged, delayed, or dropped. They should look for specific bounce-back messages or delivery errors that might indicate the issue.

Confirm email domain security settings

Check with your IT team if your email system allows emails sent via third-party platforms like Legatics. Specifically, verify that SPF (Sender Policy Framework) and DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) settings are not blocking emails from Legatics.
