Managing Email Delivery Issues and Ensuring Distribution Consistency on Cision

When using Cision for email communication, you may encounter challenges with test email delivery and ensuring distribution consistency. This guide outlines troubleshooting steps and best practices to address these issues effectively.

Test Email Delivery Issues

If your email server blocks duplicate test emails sent from the same address within a short timeframe, follow these steps to resolve the issue:

  1. Coordinate with your IT team: Request your IT team to configure the email system to allow duplicate test emails from the same sender. This typically involves flagging these activities as acceptable within your organization’s email policies.

  2. Whitelist key email addresses: Ensure system-generated emails, such as those from [email protected], are whitelisted in your email client or server to prevent them from being blocked or sent to spam folders. This step helps maintain smooth email communication from the platform.

By implementing these measures, you can conduct comprehensive email tests without interruptions.

Distribution Consistency

Cision ensures that recipients receive only one copy of a media release, even if their email address appears on multiple selected distribution lists. This feature eliminates the risk of sending multiple emails to the same recipient for a single distribution.

  • Automatic deduplication: The platform’s system automatically consolidates duplicate entries across distribution lists into a single recipient entry, ensuring seamless and consistent email delivery.

This functionality simplifies your email campaigns and eliminates redundancy, ensuring efficient communication with your audience.


By addressing these common email delivery concerns, you can improve both the testing and execution phases of your communication strategy using the Cision platform. For further assistance, reach out to your IT team or consult Cision support.
