Hey everyone,

I’ve recently set up and configured the email handler in accordance with the manual provided here: [manual [Send email alerts with a pipeline - Sensu Docs](https://docs.sensu.io/sensu-go/latest/observability-pipeline/observe-process/send-email-alerts/)]. However, I’ve encountered an issue where I’m not receiving any emails as expected.

My hunch is that there might be a misconfiguration, especially because I’m using SendGrid to send out emails. Could someone guide me on how to debug the login process with the email provider?

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.

ok i managed to sent a test mail compiling the as mentioned in [GitHub - sensu/sensu-email-handler: Sensu Go Email Handler Plugin](https://github.com/sensu/sensu-email-handler)

however the binarsy was not deployed on my sensu-backend servers! so i assume i have to configure my checks in a way thast events will be handled on the backend server?

Thanks

```auto

type: CheckConfig
api_version: core/v2

```
