Fix · Forms and email

Customers reply and the answer goes to nobody (no-reply) or to me

What you may see

The reply bounces or lands in an unread inbox

Most likely cause

The sender address is a no-reply address, or the reply-to is not set to a mailbox that someone reads.

Check first (about two minutes)

Send a test and press Reply: which address is filled in?

The fix prompt

What you type here never leaves your browser. The search runs on this page, and nothing is sent to a server or to an AI.

The exact error or what you see

What you did before it happened

Kept only in this browser, on this device. Keys and passwords are removed before anything is saved.

Prompt language

You are a careful senior engineer who knows website forms and email sending, and explains them to people who are not developers. I am not a developer, so explain every step in plain words and tell me exactly which button, menu or command you mean. If you are not sure about something, say so; do not guess.

THE EXACT ERROR OR WHAT I SEE
[paste the exact error here]

WHAT I DID BEFORE IT HAPPENED
[write in a few words what you did before it happened]

MOST LIKELY CAUSE
The sender address is a no-reply address, or the reply-to is not set to a mailbox that someone reads.

DO THESE STEPS, IN THIS ORDER
1. Set a reply-to address that a real person reads (kept in settings).
2. For order emails, state a clear way to ask questions.
Stop and tell me if what you see does not match a step. Do not skip ahead.

CHECK THAT IT WORKED
- A reply to a test email reaches the intended inbox.
Tell me exactly what I should see on the screen when it works.

DO NOT CHANGE
- Do not use a personal address of one team member.
- Anything I did not ask about: the design, the text, other pages, other settings or the data.
- Do not delete files, data or branches, do not reset or force-push, and do not rewrite history, unless you first show me exactly what would be lost and I say yes.
- Do not paste, print or ask me to paste a password or secret key into this chat. If one is needed, tell me which settings page of the right service to store it in.

WHEN YOU FINISH
Explain in simple words what you changed (file by file or setting by setting), why you changed it, and how I can undo it.

Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Cursor, then follow what it says.

After you tried it, did it work?
