This session is designed to introduce faculty members to the wide range of resources, services, and support available to you through the CRI and BSDIS. Whether you are involved in research, teaching, or clinical work, we believe these tools can enhance your work and streamline your access to critical data and IT services. Read More

REDCap Email Improvements

By News, REDCap

The following is a summary of improvements being made on Wednesday, October 16th, 2024 for the handling of outgoing REDCap email messages.  There will be no application downtime needed for these improvements, as they will happen on REDCap’s back-end email message handling setup.

All University and UCMC REDCap users including external collaborators who send email messages within REDCap will be affected. This includes email messages sent as part of:

  • Survey Invitations (both manual and automated, and reminders)
  • Alerts & Notifications
  • Survey Confirmations

The need for these improvements comes from email providers blocking emails whose ‘From:’ address does not match the domain name of the REDCap server (e.g., sending an email from user@uchospitals.edu from the server https://redcap.uchicago.edu). The following email address domains are permitted to send email messages from our REDCap server, therefore, no blocked messages should occur going forward:

  • uchicago.edu
  • uchospitals.edu
  • uchicagomedicine.org
  • bsd.uchicago.edu
  • (department).bsd.uchicago.edu
  • dacc.uchicago.edu
  • radonc.uchicago.edu
  • ingalls.org
  • chapinhall.org

All other email address domains (not in the list above) will have no-reply-redcap@uchicago.edu as the ‘From:’ address (although the message will still have the ‘Reply-To’ value as the sender). This piece will mostly affect, for example, multi-site studies where external collaborators (e.g., Rush, Mayo, etc) are sending email messages from within UChicago REDCap projects.

Lastly, as a general rule to improve email delivery to inboxes, please refrain from sending email messages from external email accounts (e.g., Gmail, Yahoo, etc.) and instead always use an institutional email address.
