Analytics Report Not Sending Reports to Email – Fixed – WooCommerce Analytics

Newer is definitely not always better. Analytics Report Not Sending Reports to Email is a common error and there is only a few ways now to get these CSV reports in a tech-proof way.

WooCommerce’s new Analytics Report relies on emails to send links to CSV reports.Β  In bigger retailers, there are too many security concerns to let this email through.

In my opinion, the code works, but it’s BAD PRACTICE and it’s blocking my clients and others from their reports.

How To Get WooCommerce Analytics Reports Manually

 

Step 1 – Generate the Report Like You Normally Do

Hit that download button, and just don’t email the email to you to work.Β  Don’t worry, WooCommerce sent the email, but it’s a bad email and it’s just being blocked in between.

 

Step 2 – Find Your “Email Logger” Plugin

This is why all my WooCommerce sites have one

this is in your EMAIL LOGGER section

Why Don’t These Emails Work Well?

It worked before, but not now.

Couple reasons, but for Kinsta, they may need us to manually update some DNS settings to pass their new security rules.Β  This may or may not works so for now it might not be worth our time to dive in.

KINSTA:

550 5.7.26 Unauthenticated email from gmail[.]com is not accepted due to domain’s\r\n550-5.7.26 DMARC policy

Based on that error you could possibly review if the following is in place regarding DMARC:

Also, if you did not add the SPF records for MailChannels you could try to include that as well:

This should not be a block by default on our end as it shows Bounced by Receiver in our logs after further investigation πŸ™
