Resolution
The issue has been resolved with the 1H 2025 release.
If users do not receive a reminder email, the following configurations and permissions need to be checked:
- Learning Administration-> System Administration ->Configuration -> Global Application Settings ->Mail.
- Validate the notification template "IlxTrainingOverdue".
- Validate the Email address configured in the global application email settings :
- If emails are being send from the SuccessFactors email addresses or a SuccessFactors email address is being used in global application email settings, there is no need to add SPF records to the SMTP domain.
- If emails are being send from a 3rd party email address or one is configured in the global application email settings, you need to work with your IT Team to request the addition of SPF records to the 3rd party's SMTP domain. For more information, please review the attached KBA - 2087468 .
