Having the same issue!

Just checking, Is it still not fixed?

Hi LEOHDZ,

Thank you for your feedback—we completely understand your frustration. Gmail is indeed a widely used email client, and ensuring timely email deliverability is a critical priority for us.

Our team has been actively investigating this issue and working on improvements to ensure ticket emails are delivered promptly and reliably to all email clients, including Gmail.

Email deliverability can be complex, involving factors like spam filters, domain reputation, and third-party email systems, and this particular challenge has proven difficult to resolve. However, we are making progress.

This week, we’re planning to roll out new notification settings for ticketing, which will give users more control over the emails sent.

Notably, the default settings will no longer send an automatic “we’ve received your ticket” email unless users opt in. This change is designed to reduce unnecessary email backscatter and improve email reliability overall.

Following that, we’ll be implementing behind-the-scenes improvements to help Gmail better recognize that the emails we send are replies to original inbound emails. This should enhance Gmail’s ability to deliver these emails directly to the intended inbox.

In the meantime, have you checked if your domain is configured with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records? These settings are essential for improving deliverability if you’re using our Remove Branding Add-on.

If you’re not currently using the Remove Branding Add-on, this may be a viable solution, as it allows emails to be sent from your domain instead of ours, which can help improve delivery rates.

We truly value your feedback and will keep you updated as we make progress on resolving this issue.

Dear, I have the same problem. Did you solve the above problem? This is very frivolous of you! I create the entire support environment on your system and in the end the basic and most important function such as tickets does not work properly!

The only solution is to purchase the white-label add-on, which allows you to use your own SMTP server instead of Tawk.to’s, JUNK , whose emails are often flagged as spam or blocked by most serious email clients.

Is there a further update on this? I was looking to utilise Ticketing but as it stands it’s not fit for purpose at all as all test emails so far landed in Spam. I was not looking to opt in the Branding Add-on at this point as it’s getting rather pricey with all the upgrades before we even had any chance to really stress test Tawk.to.

No other solution as far as I know, and it seems like fixing this is the lowest priority for the developers. It’s a no-brainer— white lable add on means more revenue, while fixing it brings no financial gain. So there you go if you need a ticketing system, either purchase the add-on or find other software that better suits your needs.
