Base44 Email Verification Not Sending or Failing on Signup
Users sign up for your Base44 application but never receive the verification email. Some users report that the email arrives but the verification link doesn't work, redirecting to an error page or an expired token message.
This breaks the entire onboarding flow. Users are unable to confirm their accounts and may be locked out of the application entirely. In some cases the email lands in spam folders, but in others it is never sent at all.
The issue may appear intermittently, working fine for some users but failing for others, particularly those with certain email providers like Outlook or corporate email systems.
Error Messages You Might See
Common Causes
- The app's email sending configuration has not been properly set up or verified
- Verification emails are being caught by spam filters, especially for apps using a generic sender domain
- The verification link contains a callback URL that doesn't match the published app's domain
- Email rate limits have been hit, causing delays or dropped emails
How to Fix It
First, check if emails are being sent at all by reviewing any available email logs in your Base44 dashboard. If emails are sending but not arriving, the issue is likely spam filtering or the sender domain reputation.
Verify that the callback URL in the verification email matches your app's actual published URL. A mismatch between development and production URLs is a common cause of broken verification links.
For persistent email delivery issues, especially with corporate email providers, you may need a developer to help configure a custom email domain or troubleshoot the specific delivery pipeline.

Get HelpFrequently Asked Questions
Why aren't my Base44 verification emails being delivered?
Check your email configuration in the Base44 dashboard first. If emails are sending but not arriving, they may be caught by spam filters. Ask users to check their spam folder.
How do I fix expired verification links in Base44?
Ensure the callback URL in your auth settings matches your published app domain. Links may expire if there's a URL mismatch causing a redirect before the token is validated.
