Why aren't leads receiving emails or booking confirmations?
Resolving email delivery issues for CRM leads and prospects
Most Common Cause — Suppression List
The suppression list is the most common cause of leads not receiving emails. New leads and drop-ins are particularly susceptible as their email addresses may not have been used with Octiv before. See article: Why aren't members receiving emails from Octiv? for full suppression list resolution steps.
Leads Not Receiving the Booking Link
Leads receive a different booking link from active members. The lead booking link includes a leadToken parameter in the URL. Sending a member link to a lead will result in a booking error.
- Lead link format: includes ?leadToken=XXXXX
- Member link: does not include a leadToken
Retrieve the correct lead booking link from: Leads >> [Lead Name] >> Copy Booking Link
Never send a member booking link to a lead. Always use the lead-specific link from the Leads panel.
Converting a Lead to a Member — Assign a Programme
When a lead is converted to a full member, the system does not automatically assign a Programme. Without a Programme, the new member cannot see workouts in the app even though their account is active.
- After converting, navigate to the new member's profile.
- Select the Programme tab.
- Assign the appropriate programme.
Reminder: A Programme (workout content) is NOT the same as a Package (billing/sessions). Both must be assigned for a complete member setup.
