What if I don't receive a verification email?
First, check your spam and promotional filters for our email.
Some corporate email addresses block outside emails like ours. If you're not receiving POINT emails from a corporate email address, ask your IT team to "whitelist" all emails from pointapp.org or add an additional email and change your primary email to the new email address.
Additionally, sometimes email providers like Outlook have blocked communications. We recommended Google emails.
