Delays in Statement Email Delivery

Summary: During peak tax season, Breeze paces email delivery to maintain a high success rate, so Giving Statements and bulk emails may take up to 8 hours to reach donor inboxes. This article explains the delay, why you should not resend queued emails, and how to check delivery status once the window has passed.


Key Information

  1. Current delivery window  Breeze is pacing email distribution platform-wide during peak tax season to maintain the highest delivery success rate, affecting all Giving Statement and bulk email sends. Your emails are queued and safe; allow up to 8 hours for delivery to donor inboxes.
  2. Do not resend emails that are pending or processing  Don't resend while status is pending/processing: it won't bypass the delay (just re-queues at the back of the line), and it creates duplicates — donors get one copy of the email for every time "Send" was clicked once the queue clears.
  3. Check delivery status after the delay window  After the 8-hour window, check Settings > History > Email to confirm delivery.

Troubleshooting & FAQs

  • My Giving Statement or bulk email is stuck in a pending/processing state. What should I do?: Nothing — it's queued and safe. Allow up to 8 hours during this peak tax season delay; don't click Send again.
  • Will resending a stuck email make it go out faster?: No — resending doesn't bypass the delay, it just adds another request to the back of the queue.
  • What happens if I click Send multiple times on a delayed statement or bulk email?: Each click queues a duplicate; once delivered, donors get a separate copy for every time you clicked "Send."
  • How do I confirm my emails were eventually delivered?: Check Settings > History > Email after the 8-hour delivery window passes.
