Use email services like sendgrid or mandrill, use a domain well configured,
Send it from a trusted server,
No images in body, prefer text email with no more than 4 links.
I'm not an expert, but these are my rules to be sure to take a good start
I'm currently using NodeJS with sendgrid, but my email always end up in the gmail spam folder.
For testing purposes, I used my own gmail address as the sender, but it doesn't change anything.
Thank you for the images advice, I will try it.
Are your emails always end up in the inbox correctly ?
Thank you.
( Merci pour les conseils, c'est sympa de ta part (: )
Not always, but when it's happened, images are the first point that I check.
Maybe gmail filter your emails because you actually uses you email as sender.
With sendgrid a simple domain can be configured.
Maybe your email is not well formatted, check html syntax, or it is similar to a spam.
Or you just mark one of your testing email as spam and your inbox remember it.
For testing it's often that testing mail are flag spam.
I don't send spams 😅
Nice one 😁

Thank you for the advices.
I'm testing everything out and will write a follow up after I tried every
solutions.
Check your authority in SendGrid. If you find out the reasons for this BTW, I would love to know ...
I will once I'm done with testing, can't guarantee it will work though.
But I will write a follow up :)
Use a service like mailtrap for integration testing. They provide a feature to measure your email spam potential.
Great advice, thank you.
I already use mailtrap for integration, but never used it to check the spam potential.
I will try :)
We always do "double optin" before we start blasting. It might be obvious for most here, but I thought I'd mention it anyways ...
Well, I don't think I need double opt-in though.
The context is, I worked for a client as a freelancer with a friend. He wanted a simple landing page with a form for customers to contact him.
It's basically just an email sent by customers with the form on his website, directly into his inbox (which is a Gmail client).
Thank you for the advice anyway :)
Psst, reCAPTCHA - Believe me, you'll need it ... ;)
