Knack sends transactional and marketing emails as a part of its relationship with your institution.
If your institution uses spam or email filtering mechanisms that would inhibit email deliverability, please add Knack's domain to your "allow lists" or trusted domain configuration.
Transactional emails are sent for user activities on the platform like account creation, tutoring session requests, tutoring session receipts, and legal notices.
Marketing emails are sent to students at your institution to inform them about the availability of the Knack platform and resources that are available for them to utilize. They are also sent to inform users that they can become tutors on the platform.
