| If your company uses Google Workplace and hasn’t set up an image URL proxy allow list, your ContactMonkey data may be inaccurate. |
Google Workspace has set up a proxy to prevent phishing attacks and keep you secure. This proxy affects location tracking data in ContactMonkey. With the proxy in place, you’ll only receive the location of the proxy server and not your readers. You can set up an image URL proxy allowlist to fix this.
This will need to be done by your Google Workspace Account Administrator.
