Hi, Zendesk failed to authenticate my email forwarding credentials from Shopify.

Does anyone encounter the same problem as mine? Please help me fix this error.

Hi Mark,

Is there a way to whitelist email addresses on Zendesk’s side?

@Liam What I only see is allowlist.

Can you add Shopify to the allow list?
