Re: Notifications not sending correctly to Distribution Lists

Hi Paul,

That is not a stupid question at all, I normally put it in on all my responses where I tell someone to contact Care and of course this time I was running to a meeting and didn't. You can reach out Care team when you are signed into Quick Base by selecting the question mark icon that appears in the upper right hand corner in Quick Base and picking 'Manage support cases' or when you are signed into Community here in the upper right hand corner if you hit support that will also take you to put in a case with our Care team. Let me know if you have any trouble with either of those methods when you put in a case. They are a great resource for system stuff like this where it is helpful to be able to get an idea what is going on with both sides of the email.

    Thank you Evan,

    I heard back from the Care team.  DLs won't work in a notification email.  Could I use a pipeline to send emails to a DL?

        This was the response from the Care team:

        "Unfortunately you can't use a distribution list as a valid email unless the list is set up as a user inside the application. You also have to be sure that the distribution list is set up to receive emails from quick base or they will get rejected. It's a bit of a hassle to set up and you have to make a user and use a paid seat for that distribution list but if you really want to use a distribution list those are the steps you have to go through."
