| **What are Email Reports?** |
| --- |
| Email Reports are records of email deliverability testing and the status of emails sent from the workspace or community. |

Email Reports are accessed from the Email Logs section of Email Settings, at either the workspace or community level, and provide a way to confirm that emails sent through IdeaScale are being delivered successfully. See Exceptions below for a domain configuration requirement that affects deliverability.
