Client did not receive Testimonial email

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 Ahmed,

 

Once you’ve submitted the Testimonial request, we’ll email your request to your client and let you know when we hear back. If your client is having trouble locating our email, please confirm that they’ve checked their junk/spam folder in case the email ended up there. They may also try whitelisting or allowing emails from Upwork so that their email provider doesn't filter them out.

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.

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

Hi Krishna,

 

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

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.

Greetings.

I sent a testimonial request to a client who is not on Upwork, but he didn't receive it and asked me to resend the request. I don't know how to do this because when I try to enter the same email address, it says I already sent the request.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

 

On May 31, I invited a client who is not on Upwork to leave a testimonial. Unfortunately, he was only able to provide feedback now, two weeks after my request. However, he cannot find the feedback request email from Upwork in his inbox and has asked me to resend the request.

 

The system indicates that I have already contacted this person, and the response window has expired.

 

Please tell me, does the request for a review sent to a client who is not on Upwork automatically get deleted after 2 weeks of waiting? Is it possible to extend its validity?

 

The client wrote me, that he is ready to leave a review now.

 

Best regards, Victoria
