Email Integration Guidelines
The Teleskope platform sends automated bulk emails to users when content is published—such as events, newsletters, announcements, and direct messages. These emails are delivered to all users within the selected scope (e.g., group members), and typically appear identical to each recipient.
To ensure high deliverability and avoid spam filtering or visibility issues like the “External Email” warning, customers must configure their email systems to recognize Teleskope emails as trusted.
Why Allowlisting Teleskope Email is Important
Without proper allowlisting:
- Emails may be flagged as spam or not delivered at all.
- Users may see 'External Email' banners or warnings, which reduces trust and open rates.
Actions Required by Customers
To avoid the above issues and improve engagement, customers should:
Allowlist Teleskope Sender
Add the following Amazon SES IP addresses to your allowlist to prevent spam filtering:
- 54.240.77.44
- 54.240.77.45
- 54.240.77.46
- 54.240.77.47
Trust the From Email Domain
Teleskope sends emails from a custom sender domain based on the platform in use:
Platform | Example From Email Address |
|---|---|
Affinities | noreply@{your-subdomain}.affinities.io |
Talent Peak | noreply@{your-subdomain}.talentpeak.io |
Office Raven | noreply@{your-subdomain}.officeraven.io |
People Hero | noreply@{your-subdomain}.peoplehero.io |
Ensure your email security filters trust these domains and suppress the "External Email" tag for them.

Some organizations have more stringent requirements. Teleskope supports deeper integrations to fully align with customer email security policies and branding.
