Unable to receive Text/Email notification for Incoming Messages

Issue Scenario

A user does not receive any Email/Text notification for incoming messages.

Possible Causes

The following are the possible causes for the issue:

•“Notification on incoming” flag is set to False on the Salesforce org.

•The user is not assigned to the sender ID and thus does not meet the criteria of “user assigned to sender ID” that has been defined as a notification parameter.

•Multiple users are assigned to a single Sender ID and therefore is not eligible to receive notifications based on the “user assigned to sender ID” notification parameter.

•The user is not the last sender and therefore does not meet the criteria for the “Last sender” that has been defined as a  notification parameter.

•There are more than 200,000 SMS History records (for “Last sender” notification).

•The user does not have permission to the object and its field where the incoming SMS record is stored (SMS History or Incoming SMS). Also, they do not have access to the Conversations object.

•If the “Notification on incoming” is set to False, the customer might have set up workflows/process builder for custom email alerts and the logic for that might be incorrect.

•Emails are going to the SPAM folder of customer’s email Inbox

•Customer’s IT team might have filters on employees Inbox which might be causing the issue.
