Links in Makerspace Emails

Some emails from your makerspace are sent through MakerVera’s own email address. When a link in one of those emails goes to a website outside MakerVera, it first opens a page titled You’re leaving MakerVera.

Why you see this page

Section titled “Why you see this page”

Your makerspace wrote the email, but it came from a MakerVera address. The leaving page makes it clear that the link goes somewhere MakerVera doesn’t control, so a message can’t trick you into thinking an outside website is part of MakerVera.

These emails also start with a line such as “Sent by Your Makerspace via MakerVera. MakerVera did not write this message.”

What the page shows

Section titled “What the page shows”
Part of the pageWhat it tells you
DestinationThe website the link goes to, shown as its address (for example forms.example.com), with the full link below it.
Continue to websiteOpens the website.
Go backReturns to where you came from without opening the link.

The page never opens the website for you. Nothing happens until you click Continue.

Section titled “”This link is not valid.””

The link was incomplete or wasn’t a normal web address, so the page doesn’t offer a way to continue. Ask your makerspace for the correct link.

When you won’t see this page

Section titled “When you won’t see this page”
  • Links to MakerVera itself, such as your profile or an event page, open directly.
  • Email links (mailto:) open your email app as usual.
  • If your makerspace sends email from its own domain (for example notify@yourmakerspace.org), its links open directly too.

Missing images

Section titled “Missing images”

In emails sent from MakerVera’s address, images hosted outside MakerVera are removed. If an email mentions a picture you can’t see, that’s why. The text of the email is unchanged.
