To fix the issue with your email verification in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Understand the issue: Before attempting to fix the problem, it's important to understand what's causing it. Is the verification email not being sent at all, or is it not being received by the user? Identifying the specific issue will help you troubleshoot more effectively.

  2. Check your email settings: In Webflow, go to the Project Settings and select the "Emails" tab. Make sure you have configured the email settings correctly, including the "Sender Name," "Email Address," and "Subject." Verify that the email address you're using is valid and that your SMTP credentials are accurate.

  3. Test with a different email address: Sometimes, the issue may lie with the specific email address you're testing with. Try using a different email address for verification to see if the problem persists. This will help you determine whether the issue is with your Webflow settings or the recipient's email provider.

  4. Check spam or junk folders: The verification email might be classified as spam or junk by the recipient's email provider. Advise your users to check their spam or junk folders and mark the email as "not spam" if found. Additionally, remind your users to add the sender's email address to their contacts to prevent future emails from being mistakenly filtered.

  5. Test with a different SMTP provider: If the issue persists, it might be related to your current SMTP provider. Try using a different provider or consult with your current provider's support team to troubleshoot the problem.

  6. Contact Webflow support: If you have exhausted all the above steps and the issue still persists, reach out to Webflow's support team. They can provide further assistance or investigate any potential bugs or system issues.

Remember, it's essential to maintain clear communication with your users throughout the process. Inform them about the steps you've taken to resolve the issue and provide alternative means of account verification if necessary.
