Does your Scheduled Check show up?

If YES:

If a location for the Schedule Check appears in the Feed, then the check is happening but the user is not being notified. There could be a issue with the automated email not getting to your inbox. Verify that you have the correct email address in the Account section.  If so, there may be an issue with your email account that is causing the notifications to be blocked. Be sure to check your spam folder to see if the notifications are being identified as spam by your email provider.

If NO:

If a location for the Schedule Check does not appear in the Feed, then the check is not happening. Try to remove and re-create that Schedule Check so that the system can correct the settings.

After doing this, if a location for the Schedule Check appears in the Feed but you still doesn't receive the notification, then the automated email is not reaching their inbox. Verify that you have the correct email address in the Account section.  There may be an issue with your email account that is causing the notifications to be blocked. Be sure to check your spam folder to see if the notifications are being identified as spam by your email provider.
