Troubleshooting

If users are not being sent to your AWeber list, please review the following troubleshooting steps.

Check your email lists

If you’ve created a workflow with a specific list and later changed the name of the list in AWeber, the workflow will no longer be able to add users to the newly edited email list.

To fix the issue, you can either edit the name of the email list back to its original name or delete the workflow and create a new one with the corresponding email list.

Check your student opt-in status

When a student signs up for an account in your school, they have the option to opt-in to receiving instructional and promotional emails.

If a student does not opt-in to receive these emails, they will not be passed to your AWeber list.

You can see which students have opted in/out of receiving emails from your school by going to Users > Students and checking the Email Opt Out column. "Yes" means that they have opted out and will not receive emails. "No" means they have opted in and will receive emails.
