Fix e-mail problems
The registration process involves your email verification. This is a simple process where we send you an automated email to confirm your address. Unfortunately, our email can sometimes be blocked by spam blockers or other security systems that we all rely on. If you are expecting an email from us but it doesn’t arrive don’t worry! If this happens to you we can still get you onto CHAI but first try the following steps in order to see if you can unblock our emails:
Firstly, look in SPAM and other mail boxes. If you find it there please move it to your Inbox and then follow the instructions in the email. Future emails should come straight to your Inbox, but if they don’t try also steps 2 and 3 below. You can test this by sending us an email as in step 2.
If you can’t find our email try sending us an email and this may help your email system recognise us. Send it to auto@chaicommunity.com and put “test” in the subject line. Also, if you can. add auto@chaicommunity.com to your email contacts. You should get an immediate reply from us. If you do then you can proceed with the registration process by selecting the button to request another email from us (or simply start again).
If you are still not getting a response to the “test” email then the next step is to “whitelist” our email (auto@chaicommunity.com) or domain (chaicommunity.com). This sounds tricky but there is plenty of help available online and it isn’t too difficult. It is done slightly differently by each email system and so please search online for instructions (e.g. search for “how to whitelist email using gmail”). Now try sending the test email again to auto@chaicommunity.com with the subject “test”. If you receive a reply from us then you can go back to the registration page and request another registration email from us (or start the process again).
If all these steps fail then your CHAI manager (whoever invited you to join CHAI) will need to verify your account instead of us. Explain the problem to this person and ask them to give you a temporary password. It would be best if they gave it to you over the phone or by text rather than using the registered email address (for security reasons). This password will only last for 1 hr and you must immediately reset it before you can access CHAI. To use this once only password simple login here.
If you can, try and get some IT assistance from a friend or colleague to unblock auto@chaicommunity.com. We may occasionally use this email to inform you about matters concerning your CHAI account. If you still can’t get a reply from the “test” message then please notify your manager so they can forward any system messages that may be important to you. You can still use CHAI as normal, and this is not an uncommon problem and no reflection of your IT skills!
