Overview
Institutions often ask how to ensure that their Student Success & Engagement emails are delivered to the Inbox of their users and not placed in SPAM or other secondary folders.
The intent of this article is not to provide specific detailed configuration settings for each email system, but instead to focus on high-level tasks that should be performed to increase proper delivery.
What Email Address Will Student Success & Engagement Emails Send From?
Email from Student Success & Engagement come from the domain of .avisoapp.com or .avisoappmail.com.
For example, an email from Columbia College would come from all@ccis.avisoapp.com. However, the senders actual name would appear.
Student Success & Engagement's reply-to feature will allow a user to reply to the email they receive from any email client.
When sent, this message is routed back to SS&E, added to the conversation thread which can be viewed on the Messages screen, and subsequently delivered to the recipient's email.
When reply-to is used, the Reply-To email address will differ from the sender email address as a unique threadId that will be utilized to identify the conversation thread the email should be attached to.
The domain used for the reply-to functionality is .avisoappmail.com.
