Client did not receive Testimonial email

[ahmedwaseem097]

I sent request for endorsement to my 2 non-upwork clients about 11 days ago. They have a website & a working LinkedIn as well. 

Both of them have not received an email yet. How much time does it take for them to receive an email from Upwork? 

Can anybody help regarding this please?

Hi Govind,

I checked your active support ticket and it looks like our team has already advised you that the client still hasn't responded to your testimonial request.

If you happen to be still in contact with your clients, please check that you have their correct email address and ask them to check the spam or junk folders of their mailbox and look for the subject title ‘Govind M. has requested a reference’.
 
If they have checked on this and the emails are not there, please update your support ticket so our team can resend them the testimonial request.

Hi Annie,

I have confirmed with my clinets. However, none of them any email so far. Kinldy send them manually so that I can circle back to you in case of reocuurance of issue.

Regards,

I have forwarded testimonials to two of my clients. One of them utilizes a business email and has successfully received the request, while the other client, who uses Gmail, has not received the request. Upwork Support has informed me that the inability to send the testimonial request to the specified email address is due to the current status of the associated Upwork account. I would appreciate clarification on what this status entails. Furthermore, it has been two days since the testimonial request was sent to the client who received it. Can you please provide an estimated timeframe for when their approval can be expected?

Before being active on Upwork I worked with client outside upwork platform in the past. I understand the importance of the testimonials on upwork and hence I requested one from the client.  However my client hasn't received the testimonial request email, the client has also checked the spam/junk folders but the email hasn't landed there as well.

Hi, I am new to Upwork and have sent out several requests to past clients for testimonials. All of them are legitimate clients who I have worked with. Out of about 3 I sent out, only one seems to have worked and many of my former clients didn't even receive the email. How can I find out what is going on?

I have sent out four testimonial requests through Upwork to my clients, but none of them received the emails. I suggested to the clients to check their spam folders, but the emails weren't there either. Please help me figure out a solution. Thanks!

Hello there. 

I understand this is frustrating, I am sure you asked the clients to check the spam folder as well. 

In my case, I had many testimonials but it never happened to me before. 

But if you have tried 4 times, I believe it's time to reach out to the support.

Thanks for the information

Hi,
I have initiated a testimonial request from several of my past clients; however, only one has reported receiving an email from Upwork. Despite advising them to review their Junk mail folders, I have had no success. Could you kindly confirm whether Upwork's invitations are manually sent by officials or automated ?

Hi

It appears that my previous client has provided a testimonial for my work, as it is currently pending. How long does it typically take for it to be reflected on my Upwork profile?

Many Thanks 

[LuiggiR]

Hi Krishna,

Thank you for your question. Testimonials are reviewed within 10 days from the date the client submits their testimonial.

[dff70696]

The testimonial email system has been tried twice and it has not reached my client. In case he has not received it for any reason, is there a way/method to resend it please? As of now, it is a Catch-22 situation as Upwork is not permitting me to send a Testimonial request to the same email ID.
