What this feature does

Inspect pending messages and clear the queue only after identifying the underlying problem. Britixo CRM keeps the result connected to the relevant customer, staff member and operational history where the feature supports those relationships. That connection is important for search, reporting, client portal visibility and future automation.

Step-by-step workflow

  1. Open the affected area: Setup → Email Templates / Email queue.
  2. Capture the exact record, user, time, status and message involved; avoid changing multiple settings at once.
  3. Check user permissions, record assignment and active/inactive status first.
  4. Confirm required configuration such as SMTP, cron, gateway credentials, webhook URL or contact permissions.
  5. Review activity, email, pipe or gateway logs available in Britixo CRM and the connected service.
  6. Retest with a controlled record after correcting one identified cause.
  7. Escalate with the captured evidence if the issue remains; do not expose credentials or personal data in screenshots.
