Emails and Correspondence

What You'll Learn:

  • How correspondence tracking works in Uptick

  • How to view emails for clients, properties, and tasks

  • How to tag and organize correspondence

  • Email attachment size limits

  • Understanding bounced emails


How Correspondence Works

Uptick centralizes all emails related to your business, making it easy to track communication between your team, clients, and contractors.

Automatic archiving: All emails sent through Uptick are automatically saved to the correspondence tab on the related client, property, or contractor record.

Manual archiving: You can also forward external emails to Uptick by adding a BCC to your workspace correspondence email: [workspacename]@emailarchiver.onuptick.com

To link the email to a specific record, include the reference number in brackets in the subject line:

  • Property: (P-12345)

  • Task: (T-12345)

Note: The reference format depends on your workspace sequence settings.


Viewing Correspondence

For Clients

  1. Go to People > Clients

  2. Select a client

  3. Click the Correspondence tab

For Properties

  1. Go to Properties

  2. Select a property

  3. Click the Correspondence tab

For Tasks

Follow the same steps above, but open a task instead to view task-related emails and dispatches.

Tip: Click Open mail window to send an email through your email client. The correspondence email is automatically BCC'd.


Tagging Correspondence

Organize emails by creating custom tags:

  1. Type a tag name in the correspondence tab

  2. Click Create

  3. Tags will appear across all correspondence tabs


Attachment Sizes

  • Under 15MB: Attachments are included with the email

  • Over 15MB: A public download link is provided instead


Bounced Emails

When an email sent from Uptick fails to be delivered to the recipient, it is called a "bounce." Uptick will send a notification email to the address listed in your business settings, including:

  • Recipient email address

  • Bounce reason (Type/Subtype)

  • Email subject and send time

The key to troubleshooting is understanding the Bounce Reason provided in that notification. This reason is categorized by Type and Subtype, which helps you determine the necessary action.

Common Troubleshooting: Whitelisting Your Uptick Domain

The most common reason for bounce backs is when the recipient's email security system blocks emails sent from Uptick, even though the email address is valid. This is especially common with large organizations, government agencies, and corporate clients.

How to identify this issue: If the same email sent from your personal Outlook or Gmail account is delivered successfully, but bounces when sent through Uptick, the recipient's IT team needs to whitelist your Uptick sending domain.

Solution:

Contact the recipient and ask their IT team to whitelist your Uptick sending address:

no-reply@[yourworkspace].onuptick.com

For your client's IT team - How to whitelist in Outlook:

  1. Click the gear icon and select "View all Outlook settings"

  2. Select "Mail" β†’ "Junk email"

  3. Click "Add" under "Safe senders and domains"

  4. Enter

    no-reply@[yourworkspace].onuptick.com

  5. Click "Save"

Additional Checks

If you're still experiencing issues after addressing the bounce type:

  • Check the Correspondence Tab: Navigate to the Client, Property, or Task record and verify the email appears in the Correspondence tab. If it's not there, the email may not have been dispatched from Uptick.

  • Verify the Email Address: Check for typos in the recipient's Client or Property profile.

  • Attachment Size: Ensure attachments don't exceed 15MB (Uptick automatically converts larger files to download links).
