Ask HN: Google throws all my API-generated mail to spam. What can I do about it?

3 pointsby zaczekadamover 4 years ago
Just as in the title. We are a small startup and all our API generated emails are invitational ones. They work just like Slacks invite emails. We just changed a domain and that is when the issue started appearing. Our domain is managed by OVH.<p>We contacted Google support 2 times already. Things we already did: - Setup DKIM records for email authorization - Personalize invitational emails (company name, company logo, inviting person&#x27;s name). - Use best practises for invitational email templates (they also are similar to Slack) - Setup Google&#x27;s postmaster (we don&#x27;t have data yet) - Start handling all company&#x27;s email from new domain to build it&#x27;s reputation<p>Did you guys have similar issues? If so, how did you handle it and how long did it take to be resolved?

Have you tried adding the sending address as a contact in your contact list and also sent an email to it (even if it bounces) so that google knows that is a contact of yours? I dont use gmail, but maybe they also have a whitelist or trusted senders&#x2F;domains function?
