This article refers to functionality in the standalone product Workfront Proof. For information on proofing inside Adobe Workfront, see Proofing.

You can configure your email client to ensure that Workfront Proof emails are not sent to the spam folder.

The following sections describe this process for various email clients:

Gmail

In this section:

  • Add the two Workfront Proof “from” addresses to your Contacts list in Gmail or create filters to prevent Gmail from routing emails from those addresses to your Spam folder
  • Remove any existing Workfront Proof emails from your Spam folder and change any filters that route Workfront Proof messages to the trash

For new Workfront Proof emails
