Quick answer

Missing 15Five check-in reminders usually trace to notification settings, an unlinked Slack or Teams account or mismatched emails rather than a bug.

Most likely fix: Check company notification settings

How to fix it

Try these in order — the most common fix is first.

  1. 1. Check company notification settings

    1. Review Configure company-wide notification settings and the delivery channels enabled
    2. Confirm the reminder is set for the right day and time

  2. 2. Verify the delivery channel

    1. If using Slack, confirm Integrations > Slack shows Manage and the user added the app
    2. If using Teams, link the account on the app Home tab
    Did this fix it?
  3. 3. Match the emails
