Delivery status

Notify’s real-time dashboard lets you check the status of any message.

For security, this information is only available for seven days after a message has been sent. You can download a report, including a list of sent messages, for your own records.

This page describes the statuses you’ll see when you’re signed in to Notify.

A note about timezones

Notify currently uses UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) for managing and displaying all dates and times in the system. This means that when you're scheduling messages to send later, or are looking at the time a message was sent, it will be in the UTC timezone.

You can refer to this chart for help with converting UTC times to your local timezone.
