Hello.. Just yesterday I tried the Autocrat tool for the first time
To create an automatic certificate and send it automatically to the student whenever he fills out a form on Google Form
The matter was done normally and successfully, but after a few experimental attempts, the messages suddenly stopped arriving
The truth is that the certificates are done perfectly and are saved in Google Sheet normally
But the message containing the PDF certificate file no longer reaches the recipients' mail
What is the solution ?


Note: I use my free Google account to send messages, not a paid account
The tool stopped sending messages after only 7 trial attempts
Sending from within Google delivers messages normally
This means that the problem is with the autocrat tool itself
Thank you very much

Note =
Now I tried the tool again after removing it and reinstalling it again
Unfortunately, I found that creating PDF files is no longer possible just when I click in run button inside the tool.

Autocrat will not process a row that has anything in the status (4th) column that gets added.  Delete the information if you need to reprocess.

Check this column for any error messages.

Are the student's email setup to not allow the messages?  Try sending to yourself and if it works, it isn't Autocrat.

There is a 100 emails a day limit.  If each row sends to two email addresses, that is 10 emails for five rows.

No.  Six is fine.  It is the number of rows that can cause you to exceed your quota.  See the FAQ.

Autocrat added four columns to the tab that contains the merge.  The fourth column contains the status of the merge.  If there is anything in this column, Autocrat will not process it.

This is to prevent rows from being processed multiple times when that is not the intent.  Read the status to determine if Autocrat sent the email.

The email could be in the student's spam folder or blocked by the student's email provider.

Sorry, but I didn't understand what you meant exactly
I have 6 questions to answer in a Google Form
This means that there are 6 columns in Google Sheet
Should I reduce the number of columns or what?

Well, how can I increase the daily limit of emails?
Is there a paid version of the tool?

Autocrat is free.  You need a workplace account with Google to increase the number of emails to 1500 per day.

Well... in case we find a problem again with the tool
Is there a way to contact your support directly without having to be here in the Google section?
Thank you very much

Sara,

This is the only support you will find for Autocrat. I suggest you read the terms of service at https://cloudlab.newvisions.org/.  It is at the bottom of the page.

I am not aware of another free Add-on that is as powerful as Autocrat.  Maybe others have an Add-on they use.

What is in the status column that Autocrat adds?

Does the merge work when run manually?

Try turning off the triggers from the main menu of Autocrat.  Close the spreadsheet and then open it and reset the triggers.

Hello
I currently use a business email from Google
I wanted to use the Autocrat tool to send files to students
But after I created the system and wanted to try it, it appeared to me that the transmission had failed
Indeed, the files were not delivered to the students
So what to do?


error.jpg

Create a Google form with only two questions: full name + email
The email I included did not contain links. In fact, I deleted the text completely
But it still fails to send

Please tell me the solution.. It is very urgent

Did you click on the link to know more about the error?

I would think that the email was sent.  See the status column.  Also, there might be an email in the sent folder.

Yes, I opened the link
This is it:

https://support.google.com/mail/answer/6596?visit_id=638378282761025310-2155604114&rd=1


The email never reached the recipient
Because the email receiving the file was my personal email
I put it to the test but it never arrived
I tried repeatedly and it never worked
I checked the email sent in the business email and I never found the email

Conclusion = The email was never sent
The file was successfully created in Google Sheet
But the email never arrived

I tried sending the email to the same business email that was sent with it
The email reached it
But when I put other emails, it never arrives

Please help me with an urgent solution

Well.. I sent again and found that the message is in the sent messages folder
But when I opened the personal email, I did not find that the message had arrived
So what is the solution?
The email is sent correctly, but it does not reach the recipient

It sounds like the business account is not setup correctly.  It may not allow the sending of emails outside of the business domain.

See https://www.certifyem.com/help-center.  Look through the help information.  I believe the writer of Certifyem has covered the bases of the settings that are required.

You need to check the spam folder.  Also, check that you have the domain set to allow the sending of messages outside of your domain.
