After working with Google to determine why our domain “lever-analytics.com” could have been considered unsafe, making the suggested adjustments, and going through a security review, it has been determined that "lever-analytics.com" is no longer considered to have links to harmful sites or downloads. Messages sent to Gmail accounts through Lever should no longer be blocked or trigger any warnings.

Our engineering team continues to monitor, to ensure that there are no further issues. We’ll send a final update once this issue is considered fully resolved.

We have engaged with Google Support to better understand this issue – where some messages sent to Gmail email addresses through Lever are being blocked – but the information we have received from them is limited, since the blocked messages come from customers, and not from Lever. For this same reason, various details relevant to the affected messages can’t be disclosed with us.

At this time, it appears that this issue is affecting only a few Lever accounts, and that is related to our domain “lever-analytics.com”, which is used for email tracking purposes, and how it interacts with Google Search. We are working on an update to ensure that “lever-analytics.com” pages are not indexed by Google Search, and prevent email messages from being blocked by Google in the future, when sent through Lever.

Additional updates will be provided as more information becomes available
