- If the message was green, check your inbox. It may take a few minutes to arrive, but if you don’t see it, try checking your spam folder.
- If it has been a few minutes, try searching for an email from no-reply@community-catalysts.bestpointwebdesign.com – this will be the email used for all app emails.
