Notifications are messages or notices sent to your app, email or text message, when new content is shared.
Depending on your group activity, you may always want real time notifications (default) or you can choose to reduce the notifications with daily digests.
Whether you have the app installed, or are signed up via email or phone, you can choose how often you would like to receive notifications. To select, click on the “Settings” button below your group name, followed by "Notifications".
Each communication channel (app, email, SMS) has the same options:
Immediate notifications for EVERYTHING - this includes all comments and reactions made to all messages.
Immediate notifications for messages involving me - this includes all messages sent directly to you, everyone in the group or any circles you are part of. You will not be notified when other members comment or react to the message thread, unless they mention you directly (@name).
Daily digest - this includes a summary of which of your groups have new messages and will direct you to the app for more information.
You may also choose to turn off notifications entirely (toggle all notification options to off), which means you would need to visit the app in order to see any new messages, events or updates. Notifications are sent to the least disruptive channel you have enabled:
<- Least | App | Email | SMS | Most ->
As an admin, when starting your group, it's important to let your members know that they can choose how they want to receive notifications. This personal choice does mean that your members may not always immediately see your messages, unless it's an emergency Priority Message.
You can set your group initially to "Immediate notifications for everything", "Immediate notifications for messages involving me" or "daily digest" notifications, rather than silencing them altogether. Members may then choose to change their personal settings.
Members can also choose to silence notifications from a specific post thread directly in the app. Simply click on the “...” in the top right of the post, followed by “Unfollow”. When silenced, members will have to check the app directly for any updates on the selected thread.
