Not Receiving Messages?

If you're not getting messages from finders, several causes could be at play.

Checklist

  1. Check spam folder โ€” Email notifications sometimes land there
  2. Email verified? โ€” Your account email must be verified to receive notifications
  3. Check in-app chat โ€” Messages are also visible in your dashboard under Messages
  4. Notifications enabled? โ€” Check your profile notification settings

Guest Messages

Guest messages are delivered immediately โ€” there is no verification delay. As soon as someone sends a message through your item's QR code, it appears in your Messages section and you receive an email notification.

Technical Issues

  • Add itemid.io as a trusted sender in your email settings
  • Check if your mailbox is full
  • Test with a different email address
