[Important announcement] Impact of Google's new email guidelines for Zoho Writer automation users

Hi users,

 

Google has recently announced new guidelines for sending emails to Gmail and other Google-hosted domains. These guidelines will be effective starting Feb. 1, 2024, and can impact the delivery of emails sent from Zoho Writer.

 

Your organization will be impacted if you send:

 

  • Emails with a gmail.com email address in the From field.

 

What operations might be impacted:

 

  • Sending emails via Zoho Writer's automation templates.

  • Sending email notifications for @ mentions in Writer documents.

 

What should you do to avoid the impact:

 

  • Change your From address from gmail.com to your organization's domain or any custom domain email address. Learn more.

 

Note: To avoid any disruption to your business, from February 1, we will be delivering emails with notification@zohowriter.com until you change the From address.

 

 

Date to remember: Feb. 1, 2024 is when Google' new guidelines take effect.

 

If you have any questions or need assistance, please feel free to contact us at support@zohowriter.com or support@eu.zohowriter.com.

 

Regards,

Team Writer

Sorry there is a lot but the bookings app need to be functional and practical for people to actually use it and not-cause MORE problems by being so basic and not customisable to each business.  1: SMS reminders for staff  There should be time limits on these reminders to make them useful.
