How do I resend a system-generated email?
Resend a previously sent email from the Correspondence tab of either the Global Log or a specific record’s Log.
If a recipient did not receive a system-generated email—such as a submission confirmation, inspection notice, or status update—you can resend it directly from the Correspondence tab in the Log. This article explains how to locate and resend any system-generated email in GovPilot.
You can access the Log in two ways:
-
From the Global Log, using the shortcut in the left-hand menu on the Home page
-
From the Log button in the bottom right corner of a record’s Form View
Steps to Resend an Email
-
Open the Log window. Click the Correspondence tab.
-
Locate the email you want to resend using filters for date, module, or email type. Select the row to preview the Email Content on the right-hand side.
-
Click the Resend this email button located above the Email Content panel.
-
A confirmation prompt will appear. Click Confirm to resend the email to the original recipient.
Notes
-
Only system-generated emails can be resent through this feature. Emails sent manually outside of GovPilot—for example, from a personal email client like Outlook or Gmail—will not appear in the Correspondence tab.
-
Use the Email Content preview to verify the message before resending.
-
This feature can also be used to retry emails that previously failed to deliver. Failed emails are indicated by a failed status in the Correspondence tab.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I resend an email to a different address than the original recipient?
No. The resend function delivers the email to the same address that received the original. To send to a different address, contact your GovPilot administrator.
How far back does the Correspondence tab show email history?
The Correspondence tab displays all system-generated emails associated with the record or, in the Global Log, across all records accessible to your account. Contact GovPilot support for questions about retention limits.
