Students will receive emails from Handshake for a variety of reasons. Our University Success and Support teams have put together a database of the emails students can receive and examples of each email and organised them into categories, listed below.
Activation Series:
These are strategically timed emails to introduce Handshake to students who haven't logged in before. They share details about the value of a Handshake account and, in some cases, include course-based job recommendations as well. All emails are sent from “noreply@joinhandshake.co.uk”.
As email designs may vary per institution type, please refer to the articles below for email examples:
- For 4-year institutions: Student Emails: Activation Email Campaigns
- For Community and technical colleges: Student Emails: Community College Activation Campaigns
Optional Notifications:
These notifications can be opted into/out of per student in their Notification Preferences. The emails are triggered by activity on the Handshake platform, and all emails come from the domain “notifications.joinhandshake.co.uk”, save for Event and Career Fair invitations; those two invites are sent from “mail.joinhandshake.co.uk”.

Transactional Emails:
These emails are triggered directly by student activity on the Handshake platform, and the emails come from the domain “m.joinhandshake.co.uk”.

Virtual Fair Emails:
These emails are automatically generated to students after they have registered for a virtual fair in Handshake and based on subsequent activity (such as cancellation), and each email comes from the domain “mail.joinhandshake.co.uk”.

Marketing Emails:
These emails are automatically generated to students after they have activated their Handshake account, and each email comes from the domain “g.joinhandshake.co.uk”.

Job Recommendation Digests:
These emails are generated based on both Student’s career interests as well as their job search activity in Handshake and are sent from the domain “mail.joinhandshake.co.uk”.

Targeted Emails:
These emails are sent from the domain “mail.joinhandshake.co.uk”.
These emails are generated by our University Partners, so the content is unique to each Career Services team that composes these.
- Note: to better ensure delivery, make sure to allow all IP addresses listed in Email Delivery: Unblocking Handshake Email.
We do have some other Notifications Sent Regardless of Preference as well.
