Ignore the Automated Email and Contact the Organizer Directly
Automated Microsoft event emails are unmonitored. You must reach out to the actual event organizer to correct your attendance.
Automated email addresses used by Microsoft Events are not monitored by human support staff. Any replies sent to these addresses will either bounce back or be ignored entirely. It is not required to reply to these automated notifications to maintain your account standing.
Close the reply window if you have already hit 'Reply' on the automated Microsoft events email.
Scroll through your initial event registration confirmation email or visit the official event webpage to find the dedicated support contact or the event organizer's direct email address.
Send a new email to the organizer explaining that you attended the event but received a 'We're Sorry We Missed You' message, and request them to manually update your attendance record.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why did I receive a 'We're Sorry We Missed You' email if I actually attended the Microsoft event?
This usually happens due to a syncing issue between the event platform's live check-in system and the automated mailing list. It can also occur if you joined the event using a different email address than the one you registered with, or if you did not stay logged in for the required minimum duration.
What happens if I reply to a 'noreply' Microsoft email address?
Your email will typically be rejected by the server, resulting in a bounce-back message (Non-Delivery Report) in your inbox. Even if the message does not bounce back, the inbox is unmonitored and no human support agent will read or respond to your message.
How can I get credit for attending a Microsoft training event if the system marked me absent?
You need to contact the event support team or the organizer directly using the contact details provided on the event registration page. Provide your registration ID, the email address used to join the session, and any proof of attendance if available.
