Email deliverability and BoardSpot
BoardSpot provides Admins with an easy interface in which to draft and send emails. BoardSpot does the work of delivering these emails to the recipient's email server. And BoardSpot provides Org-wide Admins with visibility into the emails that were sent from the portal.
Organization Admins alone can see the Email Report under Settings in the sidebar menu.
Email is drafted in BoardSpot by Admin and sent.
BoardSpot saves the email details, which are listed in the Email Report (under "Settings" in the sidebar menu).
BoardSpot's email server accepts the email, and queues it for sending out.
The recipient's email server (Google, Outlook, etc) accepts the email. _Note: At this point the email is out of BoardSpot's hands, and we no longer have control of delivery._
Recipient's email server decides on the action to take with this email, such as delivery to the Inbox, filtering it to spam, etc..
