Why is it important to whitelist Act-On’s domains and IP addresses?

Whitelisting Act-On's domains and IP addresses in your IT system allows you to receive emails sent from Act-On for internal purposes (e.g. test messages, system alerts, and triggered messages). It may also be required to sync your CRM service, and receive Data Studio reports.

All accounts should be whitelisting Act-Ons mail IPs. Only some accounts will need to whitelist Act-On for their CRM and/or Data Studio data sync. (Not sure if this is you? Check our FAQs below.)

Items to Whitelist for Mail

Your corporate email system checks IP addresses, among other things, for verification and security. Whitelisting Act-On’s IPs tells your email provider that you trust Act-On and want to receive messages from our platform. This ensures that important system emails are delivered to your inbox instead of your Spam folder, and allows you to receive test messages in your inbox.

Work with your IT team to:

1. Whitelist the domains & IP addresses listed below in both:
• Your corporate email system (e.g., Outlook365, Gmail)
• Any security/filtering application you may be using for inbound mail (e.g., Mimecast, Proofpoint, Barracuda)
2. Exempt the same domains and IP addresses and your corporate From Addresses from your inbound email spoofing rules.
