✅ Common Causes and Fixes

What Might Be WrongWhat You Can Do

Assessment not yet triggeredEnsure you’ve clicked “Send Assessment” in the assessment step after assigning the test.

🌐 Final Checks for Email Delivery

Before contacting support:
  • Verify the test is assigned in the correct step
  • Confirm email domain is not blacklisted
  • Check if duplicate invites were sent recently (this may cause mail filters to block them)

Additional Troubleshooting

  • Check Activity Log on the candidate’s card to confirm if the invite was triggered.
  • Resend the invite after reconfirming candidate details.
  • Avoid bulk uploads with missing email fields — these may silently skip invites.
