Search your email inbox for Upper Hand notifications

If you haven't received an Upper Hand notification email for several minutes, your email provider might be automatically filtering your notifications. You can try searching your inbox for support@getupperhand to find any existing notifications that may have been moved.

Check your email inbox settings

Based on the email you're using, you may need to update certain settings to ensure emails from Upper Hand aren't getting filtered out of your inbox. If you're expecting to receive a registration, reminder, or verification email from Upper Hand and nothing appears in your inbox, check your spam or junk folders to see if your email provider mistakenly filtered them out of your main inbox.

Allowlist Upper Hand email address

If you've checked your Upper Hand notification settings and confirmed your email isn't filtering Upper Hand emails, then you may need to update your allowlist or add Upper Hand as a "safe sender". If you are using a free email provider such as Gmail, you can find allowlisting instructions in their help documentation. You will want to include support@getupperhand.com in your allowlist.
