Loops: emails landing in spam - shortened links and domain setup

TL;DR

Avoid shortened youtu.be links: Gmail flags click-tracked short links as phishing (Loops Guardian warns on these); use the full youtube.com URL or disable tracking on the link. For new or weak domains, start with new signups and recently active users instead of blasting a cold audience, and verify the domain records on the sending-domain page in Loops before deeper troubleshooting. Send from a subdomain so the root-domain reputation stays safe.

Fix

1. Avoid shortened youtu.be links: Gmail flags click-tracked short links as phishing (Loops Guardian warns on these); use the full youtube.com URL or disable tracking on the link. Expected: You get the expected result; the problem is gone.

2. For new or weak domains, start with new signups and recently active users instead of blasting a cold audience, and verify the domain records on the sending-domain page in Loops before deeper troubleshooting. Expected: You see the expected output instead of the problem.

3. Loops recommends one sending domain per team; Gmail spam reports are not surfaced in Loops, so set up Google Postmaster for Gmail-specific reputation insight. Expected: You get the expected result; the problem is gone.
