Troubleshooting: Why Are My Users Not Receiving Questions?

If users report they are not receiving questions, work through the following checks before contacting support. Most delivery gaps fall into one of five causes.

 

Most likely causeHow to check and fix it
Topic has expiredGo to Management → Topics & Question Management and check the topic's expiry date. If it has expired, the topic will no longer deliver questions even if the campaign is still active. Contact support to extend the expiry date.
Campaign is paused or toggled offGo to Management → Campaigns and check whether the campaign that includes the topic is toggled on. If the campaign is disabled, questions will not be delivered even if the topic is active.
Topic-level audience is overriding the campaign audienceA topic-level audience limit inside a campaign will override the master campaign audience. This is the most common cause of "some users getting questions but not all." Go to the campaign, open the topic, and check whether a topic-level limit is applied. If the user is not in that limit, they will not receive questions from that topic.
User is disabled or their question delivery is pausedGo to People, find the user, and check their account status. If they are disabled, re-enable them. If their questions are paused (e.g., due to long-term leave), resume delivery from User Management.
Part-time working day settings are incorrectGo to People → the user's profile → User Management → Learner Question Settings. Check that the correct working days are toggled on. If all days appear enabled but the user is part-time, toggle off their non-working days. See the Part-Time Users article for more detail.

 

💡 Tip

If an entire audience of users has stopped receiving questions at the same time, the most likely cause is the campaign being toggled off or the topic having expired.

If only some users in an audience are affected, the most likely cause is a topic-level audience override.

Summary

Managers can send questions manually via Options → Admin: Users. For ongoing delivery, questions must be set up in a campaign linked to an audience. If users stop receiving questions unexpectedly, work through the five-point troubleshooting checklist above before contacting support.
